 * I just upgraded to 3.5. I am trying to edit my site and put in some hyperlinks.
   It will not allow me to do it. When I highlight the text and click the LINK ICON.
   the screen locks up and greys out. I have to close out of the site.
 * Does anyone have a clue what is causing this? I have already done the upgrade
   to Tiny MCE as well.
    Thanks for any assistance you can provide

 * Yes thanks I have read what you suggested. I have not disabled all plug ins at
   this point. ONly TINY MCE which I thought might be directly related to the issue,
   but it did not help.
 * Any other ideas?

 * I am afraid of what it might do to the site. I did not create this site, I just
   assist with text updates and misc stuff. So don’t want to mess it up royally.
 * Should I do one at a time or just disable everything at once and add back in 
   one at a time?

 * Disable everything at once and re-activate one at a time.

 * I am having the same issue with the hyperlink…can’t view, change or add. I have
   disabled plug-ins, re-added. I’ve had the site refreshed from a previous backup.
   I’ve even had the hosting service look at it and we can’t figure it out. Any 
   suggestions or advice?

 * I have tried disabling all plug ins and still I cannot create a hyper link. My
   web hosting company is trying to find a solution, but no luck either.
 * I did find that in IE, the actual link window comes up but at the bottom of the
   greyed out screen. You can type in the link, but when you click on ADD LINK button,
   it freezes again and will not work.
 * I told the web hosting company to put the site back to 3.41. and restore from
   their back up.
 * Any other ideas? I have never had any problems like this with previous updates
   so now I am leery to do them.
    Thanks.

 * Try adding `define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );` to the bottom of your wp-
   config.php file (just before the `require_once` line).

 * Well I went back in again and deactivated plug ins. Found the culprit but nothing
   I can do about it. It is a custom database plugin the developer of the website
   did. I have no options to do anything with it. I will probably be forced to pay
   him to fix it.
 * thanks for your help.
