You haven't changed the editor to 'basic' have you? Nope (just checked!) Haven't knowingly changed anything, anywhere! I tried logging out and the site was then pretty much back to normal - not 100% though. No "go to 1st post" icon for instance. On logging in again, once I had passed the anti-bot screen, I was back to the usual mish-mash. As I type this, there are no icons above this box, just text. E.g. "Bold" "Italic" "Underline" etc. I don't really think it's my firewall or Firefox as I don't have this experience anywhere else. There's another
VB site I use even more frequently and have no problems. C'est la technologie! (sigh)
