  Despite being able to do so for four years I now find I can’t preview a post when I click on the preview button.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m having the same problem with Safari on the Mac on all scheduled blog posts.

  @wickershamsconscience
  Will you please try some step by step troubleshooting to eliminate browser related issues?

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

  What gives?

  @TimeThief:
  Second follow up:

  WordPress reports 404 – File Not Found on Preview from either the individual page button or the Posts page link.

  Cache cleared. No change.
  Cookies enabled.
  No extensions or add-ons installed.
  Impacts only scheduled pages, not pages already posted.

  Does it work when you first click the [Save draft] button before you preview?
