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

  If you are, please do these:
  (1) Try clearing your browser’s cache:
  http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
  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

  (2) Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  (3) More on the options for uploading images:

  (4) For troubleshooting images here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/troubleshooting-images/

  If you aren’t successful let us know which browser (and version of it) you’re using and post any error reports you get.

  I will join in on this, if no one minds – I am having the same problem. I uploaded some images just couple of weeks ago and have not changed anything in my seetings, or the browser since.

  Just after clicking on the icon for adding media, when the transfer to the uploading page is supposed to happen is where I get stuck – it keeps loading, and nothing happens.

  There’s an issue with creating posts on the front page of WordPress.com that will not be fixed until the next upgrade. Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/

  Instead I recommend that you ONLY create posts here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  If anything like this happens again you now have a thread with troubleshooting advice in it that you can bookmark. Hopefully, you won’t need to use it. :)

  I turned off the compatibility (although never had an issue before).
  On the Dashboard I could see that with some of the buttons the text was half-covered or misplaced.
  Went to upload the image. Couldn’t read the buttons due to the same issue as on Dashboard but I could make out some of it, started the upload and after some time got error message: IO.

  epsychedcorner, I am glad it worked out.

  As for the new posts – I normally go the route you’ve recommended, timethief.

  Update: I did all enabling, HTTPS and everything else recommended,a nd the upload worked now (it took a little time), but the text and the buttons is still off, can barely make it out in some instances.
  A reminder – this happened after I clicked on the compatibility icon.
