I use Internet Explorer. I have never upgraded anything in last year and have never had any problem until the other day when ADD MEDIA just stopped working for any new posts or pages. I did changebut I tried changing to my old theme and other themes and still the ADD MEDIA didn’t work.
Compatability mode is disabled.
Guess I gotta try all that other stuff when I get time. Kinda a big pain.

My add media stopped working in my add post page along with adding a hyperlink, and adding tags. Its like the whole page suddenly doesn’t work. I am using EI 9. it was working fine until you changed the reader now nothing on the add posts page seems to work. There are no error reports, I click the add media and nothing happens. However, I can still upload media from the left side toolbar but can’t place it in the post. If I try to insert a hyperlink, it erases the whole post. If I type in tags and click add tags nothing happens. Please help, I have some time sensitive material I want to post.

I’m having the same problem. I first noticed it yesterday.
I use IE10, and have had no problems until yesterday. None of the buttons to Add Media or Add Link seem to work.

This is to let you know that this thread and all threads like it are tagged for Staff. Note that other switched to using Firefox and that resolved their issue.

My mother is having the same problem on her blog – the editor started having issues today. I’m trying to debug the issue by email, but I’m not getting anywhere. I can edit her site fine in Firefox. I think she’s using IE. Not sure what version. Let me know if you find a solution.
Here’s what she sent me:
Tried rebooting my computer, still no luck.
My toolbar about the post is not the same as previous. All the buttons are missing (eg Bold and link buttons). I can do Bolding in the visual tab but not text tab.
When I press the add media button, nothing happens. -

Did I not already clearly state this above?

Hello all. I am the one who started this discussion. I checked the browser as suggested by TimeThief above and found it needed to upgraded. I upgraded it to IE 11 and all works well now. Good luck everyone. Some days I hate technology! Thanks, TimeThief for your help and patience.

I have windows vista and it says IE9 is the latest update – which windows do I have to upgrade to to get IE 11? (If you don’t mind my asking)
-
So, IE 11 has been out for only 3 weeks and wordpress.com has already dropped support for IE 10?
-
@parlorofhorror
You could switch to Firefox http://browsehappy.com@canadianveggie
I do not see Staff saying that here or in any other thread. -
I just switched to Firefox and it finally worked. Not sure why it won’t work anymore for Internet Explorer (the version I have). Good waste of a few hrs trying to figure it out.
-
@timethief I don’t use IE, but I’m glad they’re not dropping support. Not everyone can easily upgrade to the latest version. Sounds like this is likely just a bug. Hopefully it is fixed soon.

My “Add Media” has suddenly quit working. What’s happening?
-
Howdy,
We’re working an issue that’s impacting folks using Internet Explorer 9.0. While we’re getting this fixed, would it be possible to either upgrade to IE 10 or to use Firefox or Chrome?
We’ll post an update at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/dashboard-issues-on-internet-explorer-9?replies=1
Thanks for your patience!
