  Well, the image uploader is working again for me, I did not change any settings. So I guess everything is back to normal.

  There should be somewhere in Norton where you can “whitelist” sites or something like that. Norton is notorious (at least in my experience) for blocking legitimate content which is why I don’t use it anymore.

  It is NOT Norton. I didn’t change a thing and now I am able to upload photos and use visual. HOWEVER, I was NOT able to log into my sites directly. Instead, it said, “Welcome Back,” and asked me to start a new blog. HOWEVER, I was able to get in through a site I co-own. Then, I asked for a new password and got it. But it doesn’t get me directly in. I go in through an “edit” mode. I know, sounds very confusing and it is! I did contact support yesterday and have not heard from them yet.

  Nevertheless, through a convulted way, I just updated one of my own blogs.

  Everything NOW seems back to normal. Again I changed nothing with Norton. I have Norton 360 and just renewed a few weeks ago. I now get normal screens. It all happened in the last few minutes. I changed back to my regular password even. Go figure??

  This is one of the answers I got from the support people —

  Hi,
  Anti-virus and firewall software such as Norton routinely blocks access to some access point on websites unless you whitelist or add the site as a trusted site. If you can find a way to add *.wordpress.com as a trusted site in Norton, then the visual editor and photo uploads should work fine.

  BOTH support people did answer me, BUT I did NOTHING and everything is now working fine??

  Im really new to this so forive me for posting again. Since my last post everything has been fine I left it for a while and when I came back everything was working correctly. This morning I uploaded a photo, added a caption, all fine. Now I have come to change the caption and am getting the same bloody error message from yesterday. This time I can witch between visual and HTML no problem, I just cant edit one caption on one photo.

  As I say I am new; am I doning somthing dumb or is this a regular gripe with WordPress? If so fine, I will switch off and wait?
