Can't Add Links
-
For some reason when I go to add a link the meessage comes up asking me if I want to leave the page. Example: I wrote in DVDDrive-In Review and intended to add a link to a review done on DVDDrive-In.com, but when that message comes up every time I try to link it. Do You Want To Leave This Page? When I click no, and then try to add the link again, the messge returns. When I click YES, it brings me back to a list of my posts. For some reason, the site won’t allow me to add a link to any of my existing posts.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Shawn,
Have you tried browser troubleshooting?
If your browser version is outdated you can upgrade any browser version here.
You can use this link to see if your flash is up to date.
If it’s not up to date then this is where to download and install the latest version of flash. -
Did all that but it didn’t work. The screen stays all dark , too, after I cancel the Link Connection screen. Can’t exit full screen mode because of it. It just keeps asking me if I want to navigate away from the page every time I hit UPDATE to make the link. Everything else works fine on my blog except that feature. What’s going on? Would switching over to another theme make a difference?

Don’t switch themes. You will have to contact Staff. Here’s the link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ After you use the searchbox, under the search results, at the bottom of the page there will be a section that says “Have you found the answer to your question?” You can choose either “Yes I found the answer to my question.” or “No I didn’t find the answer to my question and I would like to contact support for help.” The no option will reveal the contact form.

I haven’t been able to link items to the blog for at least four days now. Wondering if something happened that will be fixed like when I couldn’t add photos except to the top of the page unless I moved to HTML editing. One day it didn’t work, next day it did. Anyway, like the the other entries when I try to link no links appear and if I type one in and press enter it takes me away from the page. Jo

Please follow all the instructions I posted above into this thread so I do not have to do all that typing again.

I haven’t been able to add links for the last three days, either. I’ve tried contacting staff via http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ but the page freezes every single time and won’t let me use the search box. It keeps saying error on page and freezing up.
If anyone else who is having problems can use the support link to let them know it’s broken, please do so!!
Thanks –

For the past three days linking a URL to a post has been impossible due to a WordPress malfunction. Anyone else experiencing the same as I am? It is getting rather tiresome.
When highlighting text and trying to place the link, while the normal window opens and the URL can be pasted, there is no way to add it to the blog post. There is also no way to view all the past blog posts in the window and add old content as a URL.
I have tried to make links work on three seperate computers and have found no way to make it happen.

Contacting support throught that link, Timethief, doesn’t work for some reason. After I punch in a few words, and then hit search, nothing happens. ERROR ON PAGE shows up on the bottom.

People say that you can work around this if you switch to the HTML editor and put the link in there, then switch back to visual. Do contact staff, though. It’s obviously a big problem they need to know about.

Just another problem – it came up together with my linking problems (solved by time-consuming working around in HTML, THNX to forum support):
I can’t reblog anymore! I tried several times on different blogs: no result. Could this be a browser problem too? -

That HTML editing thing doesn’t work for me. I mean, it works, I just don’t like it. I can insert the link, but I can’t highlight and connect it to any text.
