i've got the same problem here.
i use the latest WP (2.8.5.) installed on a PHP5/MySQL server,
obtained an api key and validated it successfully.
i have one map created on the official site.
just to be clear: when i press U-button while editing a post i get a
umapper window. it shows me "Done!" message for a moment then it
becomes blank, without any sign of activity (no internet transfer, no
change for up to a half an hour). i tried editing with firefox 3.0.14,
opera 9.23, IE7, tried editing posts also while i was logged in on the
official site. it always ended with the same blank window.
