Don’t use that editor then. Use the classic editor at Dashboard > Posts > Add New
http://dearmrpuddy.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpAlso make sure you are running one of the browsers and versions of them at http://browsehappy.com and that you have enabled third party cookies. http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/#how-do-i-enable-third-party-cookies

Some days I can get right into the new editor, some days I cannot. I don’t change computers or browsers between days. So I have to assume that no change on my side means that there are changes on WordPress side that is causing this.

Sorry but I don’t know how to help with that. I use only the classic editor and I’m going to ask you to try some things, as we need to know your specific computing environment details, and have you report them back to Staff in this thread.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

http://browsers.about.com/od/howtousemobilebrowser1/ss/How-To-Clear-Browsing-Data-In-Chrome-For-Ipad_6.htm(b) Make sure that you have both third-party cookies enabled and JavaScript enabled
http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/
http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12654(c) Disable all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily.
(d) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions
4. You can use this link to see if your flash is up to date. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If it’s not then go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and download and install the latest version of flash.
5. Try using another browser.
6. If you are not successful let us know:
(a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
(b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://supportdetails.com/
(c) Exactly what any error reports you receive state. -

I’m sorry but please understand that we cannot provide accurate help when we do not have the URL starting with http:// for the exact blog bloggers refer to so we can verify where it is hosted. Please do that now. -
I just want to add that I’ve had numerous problems with the new editor (including being unable to post and faced with the annoying and indefinite beep, beep, boop message) and find the old editor to be superior in almost every way. The new editor appears to be a dumbed down and buggy platform.
In addition, there are now less links to my dashboard. Before, I could access it from the stats page. But now only the front page appears to have links.
I understand wordpress is trying to make improvements. But these improvements don’t seem to be improving — just causing problems. In other words, why fix something that isn’t broken?

Are you using the new Beep Beep Boop editor?

Hi there,
Sorry about that! If you ran into trouble with the post editor not loading today, it was a temporary one that our team has fixed now. You may need to refresh your browser or clear your browser’s cache to see the fix.
If there are other specific issues that you’re having with that editor, please let me know so I can pass that feedback along to our team. :)

@rachelmcr, it seems to be working again. Thx. :)
@timethief, thx for trying, but I knew that this wasn’t on my side. :D Even amazing teams can release a bug. I have done it several times myself.
