  • Look at your paths compared to the ones that work... #overlay=admin

First of all, make sure that the user that is trying to use the overlay has the appropriate permissions to do so (the permission is called: "Access the administrative overlay"). If you are trying to add/edit content as admin, then that's not the problem.

Also, make sure that in admin/appearance page, the option "Use the administration theme when editing or creating content" is selected. Notice, that if a role does not have the permissions to use the administrative theme (or the overlay for that matter), the users with the specific role will be adding/editing content through the default theme of your site.
