SOLVED (see my other post at or near the bottom of this thread)
Hello all-- It appears that quite a few people have had this problem during the last few months, with an anomaly in which the default editor when trying to post a new thread or a reply (other than a "quick reply") does not display correctly or activate completely. Specifically, the buttons appear as text (as a vertical list of what appear to be the buttons' labels or tooltips) in what would normally be the text-entry area of the editor rather than across the top of that area below the post icons, and apparently no text entry is possible (or perhaps the text-entry area is pushed too far downward by the text labels of the buttons).
I also notice that for replies that have already been posted by the user, when clicking the Edit button at the bottom of the reply, the "Quick Edit | Full Edit" options do not appear. Instead, clicking the Edit button takes one directly to the default thread/reply editor where the anomaly below appears.
This is a screenshot from a brand new upgrade from MyBB 1.6.15 to 1.8.4 (quite a jump, I know). Everything looks beautiful and as far as I know most or all other functionality is fine although it needs to be tested by users. This default editor is the only problem noticed so far.
There are no plugins active at the forum. None of the templates have been edited or altered, and the few that had previously been slightly edited were reverted to the default templates of 1.8.4.
At the sceditor.com website, the requirements for sceditor look minimal (for head section of HTML)--
Here is a screenshot of what the editor looks like when someone clicks the Reply button (rather than using the Quick Reply feature).
I know that this subject has already been discussed quite a few times, but none of the previous threads about it (that I have found) have helped me remedy the situation. I'm guessing that this is a simple problem having to do with the configuration of the default editor, which apparently is sceditor.
Thank you, if anyone can help with this issue. If a MyBB team member is willing to help, I would be happy to create an admin account for him or her at my forum to troubleshoot the issue if possible. Meanwhile, here is a temporary user account--
