In forum option I set my editor to Advanced WYSIWYG. When I select the simple text editor all is OK but if I try to select the middle choice that has extra formatting controls I still get the advanced editor. Any ideas what is going on?

I just checked and you look like you have the middle option selected. Is it still incorrect?

I still have the advanced editor which I am typing in right now.

the difference between the 'Standard Editor' and the 'Enhanced Interface' is if your browser supports it, the 'Enhanced Interface' will show the changes immediately, where as with the 'Standard Editor' you will only see things like [ color = red ] ... [ / color ] once you submit the reply

I think what happened is the forum was updated and the editor I remember having when I first came here is not integrated into the WYSIWYG interface via the Editor Mode change button.
