  I’ve noticed today I’ve been having problems with certain areas not being clickable, but only if I use Firefox. For example, you have the two selections for a new post: visual and HTML — I cannot select HTML. I can get the text, but not switch the page. Or when I make changes to our sidebar, the dropdown arrow does nothing. Anyone else having this problem?

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

  I am not having this problem and I do use a Firefox browser.

  Ah hah! It turned out to be a Flash problem. I thought Flash auto-updated, but everything’s working A-OK now. Thanks for your help!

  Anyone coming to this thread: There have been some serious security holes found in the latest version of flash, Reader and Adobe Acrobat so keep checking for new flash updates (Reader and Acrobat also if you have them). Also, make sure and keep your virus and malware programs up to date. The security holes are being actively exploited right now.
