 * Hi,
 * I have just installed WordPress 2.5.1 however I am only able to make posts and
   pages in visual mode and cannot select html mode.
 * The button displays for HTML mode but on clicking it doesnt switch to HTML mode.
 * I had tried to install TinyMCE advanced but the toolbars for this didnt display
   either.
 * Any help would be appreciated
