Editor Butons

I have lost editor buttons associated with posting links. Does anyone else have this problem? I seem to recall that this was a setting somewhere.

Log in. Click on the link at the top of the page, left hand side, that says "Account".

Inside the box labeled "Settings" on the left hand bottom of the page click "Preferences".

On the page "Preference Settings" there are radio buttons for "Editor Type". Select WYSIWYG.

Submit.

That should do it.

That setting is and has been WYSIWYG for a long time but I discovered the problem for future reference for anyone here.

I am visiting the kids for the holidays so I have my laptop.  I happen to use the Google Chrome browser on this system.  It seems that there is an incompatibility between Chrome as installed on my laptop and edit mode.  I installed Firefox and edit mode is normal with the standard WYSIWYG components while Chrome does not show them.  I'll file that away in the bit bucket until I get home and can research the issue.

A lot of content management system packages have this problem with add-ins that add WYSIWYG buttons to their built in page editors. The scripting tends to be fragile and it breaks for browsers that aren't supported.

I downloaded Chrome and set it up a few months ago, but I'm not motivated to use it because of all of the tools and add-ons for FireFox that I rely upon.
