Ah, do you get a blank preview post like me? I was beginning to think it might be some extension in Safari (on a Mac) that was causing a glitch. It doesn't always give a blank post, only occasionally.

Yes, this problem only started after the recent issues with the PS web site.

Agreed. I'm using Firefox 36.0.1 on a PC. Same problem.
