Settings > General Settings > Message Editor Interface = Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls. You can also set it to standard mode with the uppermost button on the left side. It should be blue for standard.
thank you nerbert
under Settings in the Admin Panel
the choices are:
Options
Search Type
Navigation Manager
Human Verification Manager
Social Bookmarking Manager
Run Upgrade Script
I clicked on Options and then selected Message Interface Posting options
it showed:
Full Editor: Enable Standard & WSIWYG
Quick Reply: " " " "
Quick Edit: " " " "
with options to Disable Controls, or Enable Standard Controls
your suggestion is to Enable Standard Controls, correct?
