 * I created a blog for my wife today that is hosted on my site, not on WordPress.
   com. I also have one for myself that I host as well.
 * The new one does not show any Quickktags such as b-quote, ol, ul, etc. I have
   tried everysetting I can find. The buttons show up fine on my other blog, which
   is the same software version. Is there somewhere I have to enable them (I can’t
   find one). I also tried reinstalling the software, and that didn’t work either.
   The browser doesn’t seem to be the issue either.

 * Try going to Users > Your Profile, and reselecting the Use the visual editor 
   when writing option.

 * The box is checked, but I get nothing. That adds the Visual tab so that the two
   tabs are Visual and Code. But the other options such like you can see when you
   want to post a reply to this topic are not there.

 * What browser are we using?
 * If Firefox, what extensions are installed — any that block anything?
 * Have you tried clearing the browser cache? (Ctrl-F5 while on the page if using
   IE or FF).

 * My bad, I meant to say deselect. The option button should not be chosen.

 * Thank you, thank you Skarld. Just spent 4 hours trying to figure out why the 
   Quicktags weren’t showing up. I “de”-selected the visual editor, and they appeared.
