 * Hi
    I have just installed wordpress for the first time and set up. I have no 
   visual editor showing. I have ticked the top box in users – Profiles -. No change.
   I have downloaded TINYMCE, version 3.0.1 and activated, but still no visual showing,
   and I have de activated the pop ups. Any suggestions?

 * try the installation all over again – another database – in a different folder.
   sometimes it just saves time to do it this way

 * I have completely reloaded WP and still have no editor bar. I have also downloaded
   another editor plugin to replace the missing one, Transfered it across, it is
   showing on my FTP software, but doesn’t load into Plugins on the site. Anyone
   come across this before?
