For some reason this sites editor when I post replies is not working for me. Cannot insert links, use smilies, use underline, etc, etc.

Can someone please look into this for me.

Thanks,

Using the advanced mode works fine right now for me ??? Maybe it was a temporary prob Vic.

MadDogDriver,

Editor was working when TBN made their last major update to the site. For about at least a month now has not been functioning. Tried again in this post.....no go.

Vic,

I guess I'm not understanding the editor mode completely, sorry. I can switch the editor modes, but I'm not sure what is missing. I can change fonts/sizes/colors. The Bold, Italics, and Underlined functions seem to work.
​

The Align modes seem to work as well (centered).​

and left aligned too.???​

You're much more experienced with TBN than I, so I'm curious as to what else should we be getting. I know that I had to go into my control panel and edit miscellaneous options and select the "Enhanced Interface to get Full WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet Editing". Is is possible that some of us can use this editing and not others?
​

I know that for whatever reason, I cannot login to the photo section eventhough I'm obviously already logged in to TBN.

Thanks for the comeback. What part of the editor mode am I missing?

MDD is probably right.

You need to click on My Home

Then scroll down to Control Panel and click on Edit Options under Settings and Options.

At the bottom you will see Miscellaneous Options. Choose Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing. Don't forget to click Save Changes.

You should be good to go.

Tough to say, exactly. It sounds like a javascript or activex issue. You could try adding "tractorbynet.com" to the "Trusted Sites" section. That is, if you trust us.

We haven't changed anything, so it's likely it could be some sort of script blocking going on.

Vic,

That's exactly the stuff I cannot do. The only part of the editor you are missing are the smilies. (Unfortunately I cannot add a large smiley after that last sentence so had to type it out......or.......

Now this is not entirely true. I can add smilies the rudimentary way !!
I have to use the "type in" special codes to do this versus selecting Smiles off icons that I can see on the right of my post reply message screen. I do have enhanced interface option selected. I tried disabling & selecting enhanced option again to no avail.

Just through this post I disabled blocking of pop-ups but did not make a difference.

Most peculiar as I have not made any changes (that I know of) prior to this feature becoming unavailable.

Thanks All for trying to help. I guess I will keep playing with it. Maybe I will get lucky.

I think Ibrahim's diagnosis of a scripting or activex problem is probably on target, Vic.

If you're in enhanced interface you should be getting WYSIWYG while typing a message and when selecting the "Switch Editor Mode" icon in the upper right corner you'll then see the script instead of WYSIWYG.

Ibrahim's the code expert and I'll defer to him as to what your options are now.

One other thing you could do is clear out your cookies. For the most part when I have problems that is the first thing I do and for the most part it works unless it is something stupid that I clicked on and didn't know I did it

I haven't been able to for a while either. Thanks MadDogDriver. I'm getting goofy now.
