 * I’m having this same problem, which I just noticed today. But I did not have 
   this problem a few days ago.
 * Cannot create new category. Oddly, am able to edit names of existing categories.
 * When I made a post today, using optional excerpt, after I finished the post was
   empty. But on my home page the excerpt was there. Just the page for the post 
   was empty.
 * Also, asking if I want to navigate away from page, which it did not do before.
 * I was only able to put the new post up by directly entering it in the database
   using Phpmyadmin!
 * Problem on home and work computer, using Firefox 1.5, 2.0 and Safari. So not 
   browser problem.
 * Also, had been using this install of WP for about 2-3 weeks at least, with no
   problem.
 * Problem is, I’ve messed with a lot of different things recently before noticing
   the problem.
 * I did try deactivating all plugins.
 * I inadvertently changed the directory my domain points to, then changed it back.
   Was that it?
 * I installed Awstats, maybe something i did in that process did it?
 * Reinstalled my mac os, maybe something there caused it?
 * I messed with my .htaccess file, trying to get Dreamhost stats to work, maybe
   that was it, but the permissions are 666, so should be ok. I changed the .htaccess
   back to original.
 * Sorry, i did a bunch of stuff before noticing this problem. Doh.
 * I guess I’ll be doing a new install of WP to see if that gets rid of the problem.
