  I click the email button, enter the address and the capchka (sp) and nothing happens. The little circle just keeps going around and around, but no email is sent. I was trying to send a specific post to a friend. Then I aborted the email and attempted to send something to myself and the same thing happened. So basically I’m unable to send email directly from the post.

  Can you try to do this again and let us know what error message you receive? (The error will appear on the bottom of the captcha box.)

  I found the issue on my own.

  I use google chrome & it has flagged wordpress as “The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate” – with the little lock with a red “x” thru it in my browser bar…. I attempted to send an email in Internet Explorer and it worked.

  Note that if you use http:// for your public, front end blog posts instead of https://, that should also get around the issue in Chrome.

  Okay – thanx everyone for your help. I thought it was solved, but it really isnt. The email claims it was sent when I was in IE, but no emails have come thru (I sent them to myself to test them). So help, I’m still in the same boat. Cant send a post via email.

  It is possible that it may have wound up in your friend’s spam folder. Can you check there?
