 * So I’m using WordPress 2.9.2 and I ran into a few problems last week I believe
   it was. I am unable to: add tags to a post, change the date and time published,
   change the post visibility, change the post status, modify or add widgets, use
   the drop down arrows in the dashboard navigation, or move items around on the
   dashboard home screen.
 * So far I have: tried different browsers, used different computers, cleared my
   cache, disabled all plugins, reinstalled wordpress, and searched for a very long
   time in google and the forums, so far nothing has worked. I have found a few 
   work arounds, like publishing it then doing a quick edit, and I could only change
   the widgets page to accessibility mode to make that work but really its getting
   a bit inconvenient.
 * Attached is a picture of what happens to the url when you click on any of the
   objects when adding or modifying a post.

 * Thanks for your help.

 * I don’t know what happened but the little dropdown arrows just came back and 
   work, BUT the post settings for date/time, visibility, tags, etc still don’t 
   work.

 * I don’t know what happened but my drop down arrows work again, but I think the
   rest of your problem is a bit different. I can add text and videos to my post
   its just the post settings, tags, and publishing settings that don’t work right.
   It used to work about a month or 2 ago but then it stopped working, I’m hoping
   version 3.0 fixes this when it comes out in the next week or month or so.
 * For your problem I would try deactivating plugins one by one and see if one in
   particular is causing the problem. I would also try reinstalling wordpress by
   going to Tools > Upgrade > and click reinstall automatically. Past that I don’t
   really know what your issue could be.
