  Yep, I’m just uploading photos as we’re discussing this. I’ll open it up for you.

  Not necessary since we can’t really do too much more.

  Contact noscript. If you’ve whitelisted the domain and it isn’t honoring that setting then there is an issue with noscript.

  freebornjohn, you are right about Java being a big problem. I feel safer knowing that WP here has completely disabled it. It does make your blog less flashy, but IMHO I would rather have a safe blog than a slick blog.

  One last thought…I have noticed that some aspects of WP.com blogs load from s1.wordpress.com, s2.wordpress.com and s3.wordpress.com…maybe other subdomains too. I do not know very much about the WP backend, but maybe NoScript is blocking sub-domains within wordpress.com?

  I can see what you’re saying but last night this wasn’t happening and I’m using the same version of Firefox (latest 2.x branch) and the same version of NoScript – nothing has changed at this end.

  @beemeister

  It works simply on the domain; subdomains are all included in the same block.

  Last suggestion is to log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart the browser and try again.

  I just downloaded the latest NoScript version under Firefox 3.0.2 and it works fine. I allowed all scripts on wordpress.com and it has no problems whatsoever. Is there a reason you are using the 2.x branch instead of 3.x?

  @ tsp

  I cleared cookies and cache manually (it happens automatically when I close the browser anyway) and it made no difference.

  @ beemeister

  Yes, I prefer 2.x over 3.x but will no doubt change over when Mozilla pulls the support from the 2.x branch.

  I think I’ll fire up my SUSE sandbox next and see what happens with that.

  All out of suggestions…although thanks to you, I know am running NoScript…they must have changed something for the better. It works great! Thanks alot for the tip.

  One last thought, what version of NoScript are you using? I should have asked this earlier.

  This too weird. I checked for the latest version of NoScript and there was an update available so I installed and now all is well. Something must have changed somewhere because it was working fine last night on wordpress.com.

  Consider this one resolved and thanks for the help – much appreciated!
