  The Media upload button has disappeared on my draft draft page.
  I can upload image from Media-> Add new , but I cannot import them on my blog entry.

  Some hickups on the server side?

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

  Interesting. What browser and version are you using?

  The same is happening to me. Instead of a Media upload button I have a Add Contact Form button.

  I have another blog on wordpress.com and that one has ‘Add Media’ button. So it depends on blogs.

  There is another ‘Media button lost’ post on the Support Forum.

  I suspect it depends on theme. I use ‘Selecta’.

  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

  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.

  I am getting the same, it happened overnight. I have two blogs, brianmetters.wordpress.com and nepalschoolsaid.org
  It is only happening on the former, so its not my browser or my settings. Something has happened overnight to cause this.
