  @foofar
  Are you referring to a free hosted WordPress.com blog? If so what’s the URL? There is no blog linked to your username and all I can find is this one http://foofar.wordpress.com/ which is devoid of any blogger created content.

  @foofar, the issue is whether “media file” or “attachment page” is selected by default on the media uploader. What you’re describing sounds different, and it would be good to post a new thread with your issue, including the WordPress.com blog in question and more details about your issue.

  @gastephen I’m still looking into your issue but it may be next week before I can get back to you on this. I appreciate your patience.

  @gastephen your default media setting should now be set to “attachment page”. Please give it a try and let me know if you run into any further issues with this.

  @jackiedana, fantastic! Thanks very much for getting a resolution to this issue.

  You wouldn’t by any chance be able to do the same for my other blog, lustrebox.wordpress.com, would you?

  You should be all set on lustrebox.wordpress.com now. :)

  @jackiedana, so specific to his blogs or specific to his account?

  Shouldn’t the last choice become the default setting?

  What happens if in the future gastephen (for example) would prefer the media file and not the attachment page? Does he need again to contact support to make the change?

  Needless-to-say I’m finding this rather odd (to say the least).

  In general this should not be happening, but there was something funky with the settings on his blogs.

  If it continues to be an issue, then yes, it would be appropriate to contact us again.

  @jackiedana, marvellous! thanks for setting that on lustrebox too.

  @justjennifer, ‘something funky with the settings’ being the technical web development term, obviously ;-)

  Seriously, though, I’d be interested in knowing if this issue is a result of user settings or whether it stems from a bug in your system.

  I don’t think there’s anything on your end that caused this since it was a setting in the database that we had to reset manually.
