Visual mode problems
-
Hi
Up to recently my visual mode was working perfectly. Now it isn’t.
I have searched the forum and found that there are two suggested solutions:
1. ensuring the visual tab is chosen (rather than the html) – mine is
2. checking the box in the personal settings – I have tried it both ways.I have tried loading in both firefox and IE but I am still battling with editing posts in html. While I know the basics in html it is slow and cumbersome and tiresome.
Please help.

In case it helps to solve the problem I have also realised that each time I get into the edit post the body of the post is empty until I click on visual – then it shows me the html version.
Thanks

Sorry – there seems to be a misunderstanding. The issue is not resolved. I was adding information. There is still a problem. Can you please help me to resolve it.

I have the same problem…
When I try to use the visual mode all the options disappear.
I also have problems with the main roller on my blog (the black one on the top of the blog), I can’t use it. whenever I move my mouse on it – all the options disappear…Does anyone know how to fix it? it’s terrible working like this…

this is a major problem for me too right now. i am infuriated! right now for example i cannot even add a new post b/c the visual editor icons do not appear and i cannot see my text. i punch on the visual tab and the whole post box closes and will not return.
anybody ever heard of blogger.com? or blogspot.com? or any others?
i am on the verge of trying one of them out.
please help!
