Edit ToolBar not displaying properly in tabbed New Post dialog

Smiley selector kaput, too

from WinCustomize Forums
Since the recent redesign, the toolbar with the editing tools is not displaying correctly - the buttons are getting the button face color superimposed on the bar graphic & it looks very slapdash, as Eddie would say.  The Font & Size controls display correctly, but their drop-down buttons don't get skinned anymore (which seems a tad ironic).  Also can't get the Smiley selector to work.  True for XP & Win2k, IE & Firefox (actually looks worse in IE/XP).

The underlined text in post #23 is a link, BTW.

I'm also getting a "You are not authorized to edit this post" message when I click on the Edit link in prior posts.  If my post is the last one showing in the thread, the edit window opens normally.

Again, as shown in the screenshot, the new post window and the edit post window toolbars show "Font" & "Size" where a font name and font size should be showing by default, respectively.

Here's the info from the Help/About dialog of FF:

Daiwa, the edit behavior is by design. I'm afraid that won't be changing anytime soon.

Unfortunately the build of the Wincustomize forums that you're using at the moment isnt being maintained any longer and we're preparing the new forum engine (which can be viewed on forums.stardock.com and forums.galciv2.com presently) with a wincustomize theme. I can't say exactly when forums.wincustomize.com will be switched over to the new codebase, but I can say 'soon'.

Thanks for the screenshot of the issue you are having with the editor on firefox. Unfortunately FireFox's developers decided that the designmode just wouldnt provide the same cool information that IE does when in design mode. If someone manages to pick apart our editor and finds a way, we'll gladly take a look at it again. But at present it's just not a priority. It doesnt limit the editor's use in any way, no prevent anyone from making a post.

There is, however, an issue with the formatting going byebye. I'll be looking into that today. Had I not seen your screenshot, I wouldn't have known where to look for that. As a workaround for the WYSIWYG editor in Firefox (which is what you're using) click the 'Advanced Mode' button. The formatting does post correctly from there.

Thanks for following up on it, Andrew, and good luck with the transition to the new forum engine - maybe that will resolve some of these issues.

However, I'm having difficulty locating this 'Advanced Mode' button you refer to.

Maybe a screenshot would help.

If you're posting from the Wincustomize forums, then I apologize, as it's not implemented there quite yet. I was caught up in the new forum engine development and have it on the brain.
