  I can’t upload photo images to my blog anymore. After a place my cursor where I want the picture, I select my file and press “upload.” But nothing happens. Before, in the old format, the image was “crunched” and you could see it when it was 100% uploaded. This time nothing happens.

  Can you please tell us which browser (and version of) you’re using?

  I use Internet Explorer (Google) Windows 7 Starter.

  So, would that be IE 8 or IE 9?

  If you’re using IE 8, would you please upgrade to IE 9?

  If you’re using IE 9 with any add-ons, would you please try disabling those to see if that makes any difference?

  I tried to upgrade to IE9 but it said I already had a newer version (?). So I assume I have IE9 but never remember upgrading to it. I have no add-ons. And I tried to upload photos again and nothing happened. Before, after I selected an image, a button appeared saying “insert into post.” That no longer comes on. Instead, it just has one that says “upgrade.” When I click on it, nothing happens. I’m really frustrated with this. Before, I inserted images all the time with no problem.

  Hi there,

  I just tried replicating your issue on Windows 7, using MSIE9, and cannot seem to be able to.

  See http://cl.ly/CRTu

  Could I ask you tro try and take a screenshot (http://take-a-screenshot.org/#windows ) for us? Since this is a forum, and we cannot upload images, you can simply upload the screenshot to a service such as http://imageshack.us/

  Very puzzled by that “upgrade” button you are seeing.
