Hello, for some reason my text editor buttons are not working. I can enter text in just fine, but can not use any of the buttons (like center or bold). Any thoughts as to what would be causing this?

Thanks,

Keith

Create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

If it is still happening - Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Lynne,

I first tried making the new style as you said. Issue was still there.

Next, I deactivated all my plugins and the issue was still there.

Finally, I edited the config.php file as you said and the problem is still there (in all styles).

Any other thoughts?

the only other thing I can think of it to reupload all your files. It sounds like maybe your javascript files were not uploaded correctly.

You didn't turn javascript off in your browser, did you?

Nope, I've tested this on two different computers. I did find some thing else out though, the Quick Reply and Quick Edit buttons work... just not the buttons when I use the Post Reply or Advanced Edit.

Then it really sounds like it is an issue of the templates or a modification. Did you disable the modifications through the config.php file and test it on the totally default style at the same time? And when you say they don't work, do you mean you select the text, click on the B button, and absolutely nothing happens? Is this with using the standard editor or the WYSIWYG editor or both?

Yep, I select the text and click on the button and nothing happens at all. If I hover over the button, I do get the tool tip though. I did try it with the edited config file and the new style, still did not work. It does not matter if I use the Full WUSIWYG editor or the Standard Editor.

It sounds like you should put in a support ticket then since I'm not sure what else to suggest trying.
