Rich text toolbar is not visible

Question

Sign in to vote
I have created a blog using WSS3.0, and everything works fine, except that for one of the blog authors the rich text toolbar is not visible above the editor window and they have to manually insert the HTML code into the editor window. For every other blog author the rich text toolbar is visible.

Any ideas?

Is that user accessing the site with a browser other than Internet Explorer, such as Firefox or Safari? The Rich Text toolbar is not compatible with browsers other than IE in SharePoint 2007, so that's going to be the behavior they see unless you replace that stock control with another one that is compatible with other browsers. For more info on the issue, I would suggest this blog post, Woody covers it really well: http://www.thesanitypoint.com/archive/2009/06/12/cross-browser-rich-text-editing-and-more-in-sharepoint.aspx
