Caesar-

Prior to the last round of upgrades I could cut&paste excepts from my external blog directly into the MR.com blog editor. Today, I added my new entry (with accompanying image link), and it appeared to paste as normal: the image and text were all there as expected. However, when I saved the image the resulting post was EMPTY. I tried several variations, and it seems that whenever I paste an image from my external blog the post gets wiped.

I tried to switch to the HTML editor, and as soon as I do, the post content is erased. So, I'm guessing that it doesn't like something about the HTML content from the cut&paste...but, since I can't see what pastes in (in html format) I don't know what it might not like.

I've been doing it this way since day one (40 odd entries). The last time I successfully did this was my October 4th entry, my October 8th entry didn't have any images in it, so I don't know if the issue existed at that time.

My normal process has been:

• Publish the entry on my external blog
• View my external blog front page (which only shows the abstract post version with a "more link").
• Highlight the "more link" and the body of the abstract (excluding the tag and author lines), and copy to clipboard,
• On MR.com/Blogs, create a blog new entry, and paste into the editor.
• Add a title, and save-as-draft.
• Review the draft, update as needed, and then publish the new entry.

My blog is a self-hosted Wordpress 3.2.1 blog. I haven't made any upgrades between Oct 4th and now.

When I paste the picture into an HTML editor the code below is what I see. Dunno if any of this might be the issue (presumably it is), Its always worked before. I can work around it, its just a little more trouble. I did some googling, and didn't really find anything specific...but, admittedly its kind of obscure, and I may not have hit on the right search terms. The only thing I found was:

But, that didn't seem directly on point. However, if you think it is, I'm running java build 27 (build 1.6.0_27-b07). I'm getting a notice that a new version is available...I just can't always be bothered to keep up with Oracle. I'll update if you think its worthwhile. Here's the code:
