Full Version: Formatting toolbar in new posts
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I just set up my own MyBB, works great except that my users can't see the formatting toolbar that comes up in new postings. My admin account can, all others can't. I've looked just about everywhere for a setting that controls this behavior, no luck yet. Is this built into default member privileges? Can someone kindly point me in the right direction?

Thanks a bunch, and to the developers, keep up with the good work!
UCP -> Edit Options
'Show the MyCode formatting options on the posting pages.' check that box.
You might be suffering from an MyBB bug.

Thanks for the link. Made the change, but if I understand your earlier posts correctly, this will only work for new users. What can I do for existing users?
existing users needs to edit there profiles to show this as Christian said in the above post.

Ok, it's a per user setting then, just tested this and it works. I'll advise my users. Thanks !!!!

Ok, got it. Thanks for the super-quick responses, guys!
You can enable it for everybody by running this SQL code in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE mybb_users SET showcodebuttons=1

Change mybb_ to your table prefix, if it is different.
