How do you update your wordpress? Me automatically, I don’t read what’s new most of the time and I don’t read the bugs and fixes. What I notice are the changes and what I’m looking for are the fixes to the bugs I faced.
I use chrome browser mostly and I know there are many hiccups, simple fact of checking hotmail or not being able to play some online games, I sometimes have trouble uploading photos to flickr and have to use firefox, even viewing pictures. I just upgraded my wordpress to 2.9.1 and still I have the same problem with chrome.
Keep in mind that I use chrome.
When writing a post, I use the preview option to open another tab to view my post, if I want to publish it, I can not, the publish process seems to go on forever, I have to stop that and click edit from the Posts menu to view all the posts and then edit that particular post and click Publish. It seems if within the same Edit Post page if you have clicked Preview, you can not publish the post by clicking Publish.
That seems to affect the publishing of a post by Scheduling, all my scheduled posts seem to fail.
I’m scheduling this post without using the Preview option first. Let’s see how it goes.
UPDATE:
So it seems scheduling works if I did not use the Preview option before within the Edit Post page!

LOL it’s not about that
It’s a wordpress issue, but you are using blogspot so I don’t think you faced it.
When are you moving in man … yAllah aren’t you at least interested to trying that opensource out
more freedom, more control, more fun

I do like wordpress more than blogspot. My company’s website is based on wordpress, so I know my ways in it, but I don’t see that it’s worth the hassle of moving out my articles to a new platform as I have to reformat all the old articles.

it’s not a hassle at all, just export your posts and they are not that many, I remember my issue was I could only import 50 posts at a time.
So are you facing this issue, you can’t Publish if you Preview before?

I don’t jump to new versions as soon as they’re out because of such issues, so, no I don’t have that problem.

laaaa I had this problem waaay back … madree laish .. weird! With every update I think it is solved. I remember I only have it with Chrome, I’ll need to try out other browsers and see from there.

Try to disable most of the plugins and see if that helps. Some plugins such as site-maps, wp-cache usually flush/rebuild their indexes so it makes publishing slow.

I haven’t tried using WP with Chrome, and after reading about your problem, I don’t feel like testing it either!

I have several issues. One is Preview all of a sudden stops working. Page doesn’t display. Today as well, before I update to latest, Preview didn’t work, and publish kept loading for ever. Wonder if that was related to all my sites becoming inaccessible for few moments.

3baid, does it matter that this scenario works when I’m using firefox but not chrome.
MBH, 3ayal just read my findings.
Bashar, ee that’s my issue from way back.
