I never know when I reply to a thread if I'm going to find editing buttons above the reply box or not. Tonight, it's very not. Nada. Does anyone else have this problem?
I'm talking about the box of icons I am occasionally delighted to find that allow you to use bold or italics, add photos, links, quotation marks etc.
Is there some setting I have to click on, to ensure I get a display that will give me these various icons or must I just wait till I get lucky!?
Thanks for any enlightenment, folks.

They should consistently be there. The only suggestion I'd have would be to clear your browser's cache if they've disappeared so your browser will download it again.

That is quite weird. Maybe try a different browser? Firefox or Chrome if you are using IE?
it is primitive life from other galaxies, that aliens use to raise their bread. They have landed here with one goal - 'Yeasty Domination of the Worst Kind' that is just way too nasty to post here!!! Don't jump ship just yet though.....Yeast Water is our last and final hope and ................................
the entire toolbar is missing. No bold, No Underline (not that I use them) no spell check, no Word insert , no photo capability. Very odd but only the spell check bothers me. It makes me look stupid and, when you are stupid anyway, you don't need a toolbar gone missing working against you. :-) I feel your pain but not for this post since the toolbar is there.
but cleared up quite a bit with an update about two months ago. Can't remember what exactly happened. (no help) But it seemed to happen on certain older threads. I still have battles with the " (quote) box in the tool bar and trying to get back to regular typing. I sometimes even erase my cursor (real fun) and have to guess where things will appear. I'm using Safari. I do have a spelling checker in the Subject box now that underlines alien words in red. I have lost a couple of posts and am baffled as to why. Pretty frustrating to think hard on and type up a great answer and suddenly have it >poof< disappear. Notice there is sometimes a "clear" next to the "save" and "preview" and wonder if my cursor wandered when I pressed one of those buttons thus erasing my post. ??? Oh well...
How ya doing with all these storms lately?
posts disappear. Now I copy the whole thing to my clipboard as I go just in case the thing goes poof for no reason. This has happened many times. One time TFL came back and said that I had timed out, like it was my long dead mother but that was the only time. Why didn't it say you are about to time out rather than knowing it and making all your work go away to the TFL graveyard just for spite?
Hello all,
The buttons are all about what's called "rich-text." Below the Comment box, you'll find "Disable rich-text" at the left. If, instead, you see "Enable rich-text," click on this and the buttons should re-appear. (But why no emoticons? Silly, but expressive.)
