The users of my forum have reported a problem with the vB advanced editor. the editor appears broken as shown below when they click "go advanced" or try to start a new post.

Have you seen anything like this before?



Thanks for your time. I did make small customizations (adding buttons) to the editor, but I'm not too familiar with vB.

Let's say I were to view any topic in "Electronic Verve," a sub-section* of my forum devoted to gaming and computers. Above any given thread would be displayed this message:

It also shows on the FORUMDISPLAY page, but I was wondering if I can just get rid of such messages on the SHOWTHREAD page?

I use IE and get the generic error message screen that says Internet Explorer cannot connect to this page - diagnose connection problems etc.....

My members advise that the lack of access happens with IE, Firefox, Yahoo and AOL etc....

I have contacted my webhost, Ipower and they say everything looks fine.

I have run the repair and optimize tables in my admin cp.

Any suggestions??? On what I can do or how I can find what went wrong to advise my webhost.
