well, I updated to 9638. Strangely enough, in edit mode (IE7), there was no link to reveal the dropdown box that allows you to change the post status. I then opened the page in FF2 (I’m not using my personal system right now so my selection of browsers is rather odd), and noticed the same problem. However, after clicking around the other options, suddenly the “edit” link appeared and I was able to change the status to unpublished. After making this selection a “Save Draft” button appeared, and I was able to commit the changes successfully.
