 * When I click on the insert/edit link icon when creating a new post, I now get
   a blank pop-up box. It has been like this for at least a week. Please help.

 * Hrmmmm….
 * Couple questions for you:
 * 1. What browser are you using?
 * 2. What version of WordPress?
 * 3. Do you have a pop-up blocker running? Maybe on your anti-virus program?

 * Using Chrome. WP version 3.9.1. I do have pop-up blocker, but I have not changed
   any of my settings recently. I use the insert/edit link on a weekly basis, and
   in the past week I now get a blank box.

 * Ok…let’s dig deeper:
 * 1. What theme are you running?
 * 2. What plugins do you have installed?
 * 3. Are you using tinyMCE?

 * Sorry – I am not very tech-savvy, so I will try to answer correctly. We post 
   our blog directly to our website, so a custom theme(?). Plugins = Akismet, TinyMCE
   Advanced, WP to Twitter. All of these settings were installed when I inherited
   the blog at my job over a year ago, and have not been changed since I have been
   posting.
 * Also, I just removed my security scanner and disabled my pop-up blocker and I
   still get the blank box.
 * I appreciate your help.

 * Hey SQ…
 * Try deactivating TinyMCE Advanced.
 * Any change in behavior?
 * I’m looking at something over here…but want you to try that first.
