Can't type new posts in the text box

    I have encountered a major problem with wordpress.com. I am trying to type a post in the text box, but for some reason, I can only type the title of the post. I can not type anything in the text box. I tried switching the text box from visual to text mode, but it doesn't even switch.

    I do not have any plugins for wordpress.com installed. I have been using wordpress.com for a long time and had never encountered this problem before. I believe this could be caused from some of the recent updates to wordpress.com. Please help, because I need to post some new content to my blog.

    What browser and version are you using?

    To raincoaster.

    I am using Google Chrome. (Version is 23.0.1271.97 m)

    This problem has never happened before. I believe this is very likely from the recent updates to wordpress.com. I have noticed how in the past few days, the design of the website changed. Unless I missed some sort of option where you can disable, enable, or read only for the text box, I am completely clueless.

    Have the same problem and I tried chrome, mozilla and explorer browsers,deactivated all plugins, changed to default theme, further more I turned off the visual text editor and after I tured it off it the only thing thats changed is I can write in post box but all the limitations from the beginning still apply, cant add media, change the permalink text under the title, cant edit text make it bigger , move it or do anything with it, its just plain, cant add tags and basicly anything that I need for a post.

    If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

    (1) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

    Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

    (2) Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

    (3) Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

    (4) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

    If it’s still happening, let us know which browser (and version of it) you’re using and post any error reports you get.

    @gavrilvirgil
    That site is not being hosted by WordPress.COM and we cannot help with it. It's a WordPress>ORG install. You are posting to the wrong support forum and must post to http://wordpress.org/support
