    The Editor uses "AJAX" which is heavily "Javascript" orientated. If you are having problems with it showing it would actually suggest that you either have a Script blocking program, addon or function running with the browser you are attempting to use, or you are attempting to use a Stale cookie (logout of sciforums, clean your cookies, log back in).

    If that doesn't help then sorry "Euston we have a problem".

    Okay lets get the details, what browser are you attempting to use?

    If it's Internet Explorer 8:

    While in the browser, Go to Tools then move the mouse down to Internet Options, Click the Privacy tab, then the button marked Sites. Make sure that sciforums.com is not listed as "Always Block". If it is, you can either remove it or toggle it to "Always Allow".

    If you are using Firefox 3.6.#
    While in the browser, Go to Tools then move the mouse down to Options,
    Click the Privacy tab, check to see if you have "Use Custom settings for history"
    Make sure "Accept cookies from sites" is ticked and click the "exceptions" button, make sure that sciforums.com isn't "Blocked" in there.

    I had a similar problem once. If you're using Firefox, try this:

    On the tool bar: Edit -> Preferences -> Content.

    Check "Load images automatically".

    Now look to your right and see if SciFo in on the "exceptions" list. If so, ditch it.

    It was good for me. Was it good for you?
