1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ which are the ones WordPress.com supports please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

(d) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions
4. You can use this link to see if your flash is up to date. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If it’s not then go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and download and install the latest version of flash.
5. Try using another browser.
6. If you are not successful let us know:
(a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
(b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/

Hi there,
We’re experiencing some issues with image uploading particularly in IE. Could you let me know the following to help troubleshoot?
- When you’re uploading images, are you uploading to the WordPress.com Editor or to your Dashboard? The URL in your address bar will help you tell the difference:
WordPress.com Editor – http://wordpress.com/post
Dashboard – http://jeremeyduvall.wordpress.com/wp-admin
- Can you try another browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?
- Can you try updating your version of Internet Explorer? As Timethief mentioned, you can find up-to-date browser versions at browsehappy.com.
I appreciate your help! I’ll let you know as soon as we know more.
