I woke up this morning to find that one of my recent posts had been duplicated, and its title changed to "OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA." This new post appears like all the others on my site, but I did not create it.

The zombie post used the same jpg file as my original post, but the text was gone. The original post that I created is unchanged.

I have never had this happen before; it seems as thought somebody has figured out how to spam using posts instead of comments.

Any ideas on how I can prevent this happening in the future? Thanks.

I'm on a Mac, and prefer Firefox over Safari - it may be perception, but it seems faster. A friend who only has dial-up (!) also found Firefox faster, so you might want to consider trying it.

I've learned first to clear cache and cookies, and then to try turning off add-ons - DNT and AdBlock seem to be the biggest culprits.

Glad to hear it is working for you!

Thanks for this suggestion ... it WORKS.

Is there a glitch in the program somewhere that caused this? The downside of https is that the pages load slower (I'm not on true highspeed. SIgh.)

I use Safari, no add-ons. Thanks also for the tip about Do Not Track ... don't have it but was thinking of installing it. (Did you solve that problem?)

I really appreciate this Forum ... thank you again for the time you spend helping others solve their problems. I

Check your browser add-ons. Here in Firefox (14.0.1) I had to whitelist AdBlock Plus and Do Not Track Plus, they were interfering with adding and editing posts. boxes were greyed out, nothing would save, etc.

I still can't add a tag when I'm in editing mode BUT when I went into the list of my posts, then clicked on "Quick Edit" I WAS able to add a tag ... so I do have a partial work-around.

Still no progress on using html.

Also having problems with Tags ... tried to add tags to my Aug 23 post and it won't work.

These problems also appear on other blogs that I run. Any suggestions?
