1. Loading screen loads infinetly unless interrupted. (freezes)
2. When the Media Library box finally opens up, I select the image I want to use BUT then the box turns white and stays that way!

It keeps staying white, every single time!!! I can't stand it, I haven't been able to update my site in over a month! Nevermind refreshing the screen, this problem happends constantly. >:O

this worked to get an image into my post:

"The other way you can insert images, is to go to the media library, click on the thumbnail and get the URL of the image. Then go back to the editor, click on the tree icon and paste the URL in there."

finally I can put images into my posts again!!

wow! thanks for your kind words!
it's a pleasure to help other wp.commers. and the pleasure doubles when good fellow bloggers like you recognize my efforts. :D

did you say you can't thank me enough?
well, sure you can! why not link to me in your blog or submit my blog post to a social bookmarking site?

nah, just kidding.......an act of kindness seeks nothing in return!! :D

How to easily have full-size images in a wordpress.com blog

I've tried using the updated IE browser and also updated Flash to no avail. I have a Windows XP system. I don't suppose they would consider giving us back the old editing system - it was a breeze! Julie

This used to be so much easier. Please change it back fast.

Once you've uploaded the images, when you go to insert them, when you click on "add an image" or "add media" click on the "media library" link at the top of the popup window and insert from there. The gallery is really designed for inserting a group of photos into a page or post and gives you almost no control over them.

Finally downloading safari for windows worked. Why do I need to download a mac browser to upload an image?

However I haven't found out how visitors can find the images URL...

Menu Tools > Clear private data > uncheck or check what you want. To clear the cache of course, check the box next to "cache". If I were you I would then uncheck "cookies" abd "authenticated sessions" because if you clear that you'll have to log in to your blog again.

So just check cache and click on the "clear..." button.

hope that helps.

Aaaaaaargh

I've tried uploading two images for a post. Fine. That works. Better than some it seems. I click on the second image, click "insert into post" and it appears. Fine. Now I want to add the other one, which I get to by clicking "add media". But clicking "show" next to that image gives no option to add that image to the post, only the option to "insert gallery to the post" ...

I'm still not even sure what a "gallery" is... I just want to be able to upload images and then choose where and when I insert them. I'm going to hold off on my brunt opinions, but this revamp of WordPress is anything but an upgrade. The old system was solid, reliable and effectively bullet proof. That was one of the main reasons for migrating from Blogger. Like some others, I'd definitely advocate the option to choose between the old and new systems. A transition period would give the WordPress techies more time to iron out bugs and less time dealing with all these complaints and questions. Six months down the line we'd be better placed to all move over. Was a beta period considered?

The other way you can insert images, is to go to the media library, click on the thumbnail and get the URL of the image. Then go back to the editor, click on the tree icon and paste the URL in there.

My suggestion though is to try Firefox.
