Serious problem

  That was in 2008. “Turbo” is no longer offered in your WP.com Dashboard.

  The Support FAQ mentioned in that blog post leads to a 404 error.

  Here’s the current Support Doc on using HTTPS and no mention of Gears anywhere:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/ So if you’re not using Gears elsewhere, you don’t need it here.

  And all of this is hypothesizing that this is the source of your current problem, but no way we can know for sure, unless you dump Gears and the problem goes away.

  And as it is already quite late in my part of the world, I wish you goodnight and trust that another forum volunteer will be around to toss ideas out. :)

  FWIW – the videos are also in need of updating.

  Google Gears uninstalled. Now I’ll just have to see…

  Gears is alive and well as far as I can see (Firefox 3.6.8). “Turbo” disappears when Gears is installed/enabled.
