# Cannot add/edit posts in 2.6.1

 * I’ve just upgraded to 2.6.1 and I’m now unable to write new posts or edit existing
   posts (including drafts). Pages aren’t similarly affected.
 * When I click on a link to edit a post, or write a new one, the page begins to
   load and the browser shows the title of the edit page (“[Blog Name] > Edit – 
   WordPress”) but the page is blank and the status bar constantly says “Waiting
   for [web address]…” without ever loading.
 * This happens with FF3 and IE7. I’ve disabled all plugins, I have 3 categories
   and 25 tags. I’ve tried switching between the visual and basic editors with no
   effect.
 * Any idea why this might be happening? I’ve found many threads with similar problems
   but none exactly like this and no solutions I’ve found work for me..

 * I have a similar problem although slightly different.
 * I am running WordPress on a Windows server.
    It was all running fine and I have
   not upgraded or done anything however yesterday I edited an existing post and
   then when I try to load any page where that post would appear (home page or relevant
   category) all preceeding posts would appear but the one I edited would only show
   the Title and the Wordress would just loop until it times out.
 * I tracked down the post that was causing the problem and copied it to a new post
   and saved it as a draft, then deleted the original post. Everything was fine 
   again.
 * Now if I try to add a new post, even one that just says “test” the same thing
   happens again! Any category that does not have the new post in it still loads
   fine.
 * Please help!
