  I am trying to post using the new format that appeared this morning – I composed my post but can’t preview it and can’t post it – neither button is working. Very frustrating – what is going on?

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

  The workarounds are:

  When you go to the drop-down menu on the left of the grey Admin bar, and you get to NEW, instead of opening up the drop down menu options Page, Post, etc, just click the word New. Gets you straight to the fully featured dashboard editor.

  To Edit, go to Dashboard->Posts->All Posts and go to the particular post, and click Edit. That gives you the full-featured editor. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/beep-beep-boop-screen-is-a-joke-is-this-a-glitch/page/4?replies=343#post-1993873

  Thank you, timethief. That got me to the posting page I’m used to. But is that new format what is coming?

  Oh yeah. Staff have been working on new iterations of the new dashboard for about a year now and that’s all I’m saying on this issue.
