I upgraded to 5.2, but now several buttons aren't working.  I can Quote a topic and it will work, but the "Add Reply" button does nothing.  Also, the "Add Topic" button doesn't seem to work either.  Any ideas?

Where to start! Your site is throwing script errors left, right and centre!

Some kind of Google Syndication script is erroring. Something connecting to FaceBook is erroring. But, probably, the  main culprit is that the jQuery UI Core library is being loaded from Google CDN. Probably the theme. Loading it from Google when it shouldn't and not using the WP API to check if it is already to be loaded, which it is.

This codex article explains what this means and what to look for:

Thanks Yellow Swordfish. 

I think I cleared the jQuery conflict (the source of the script include appears to now be the WP file), however, it hasn't resolved the issue.  I'm not seeing the FaceBook and Google Syndication errors anymore (at least I don't see them in FireFox's error console).  There's definitely still a conflict somewhere.  Any other ideas?

Sorry in advance for the limited knowledge.  I'm familiar with web dev in general, but the Wordpress world is still pretty new to me.

Not sure why exactly, but the conflict was with the WP UI plugin.  I guess I hadn't cleared the jQuery conflicts like I thought, because deactivating that plugin fixed the SimplePress issues.

Sorry for the delay. I started to look at your site and had to go out for a while longer than expected.
Looks like the WP UI plugin uses the jQuery UI library which should be fine - as long as it is written correctly to use the WP API. If not then it is a disaster zone waiting to happen...
