 * I’ve installed EditorMonkey and then the new version of FCKMonkey to see what
   all the hype was about. Both did much more than I needed to allow people to use,
   so I removed them.
 * That just killed my write page and there was no buttons at all. I edited the 
   DB in MyPHPadmin and removed all the EditorMonkey related stuff I could find.
   I now have the text buttons and TinyMCE is dead. Rich text editor is on both 
   for users and defaut.
 * What is the process of removing both EditorMonkey and FCKMonkey? Is there a list
   of database entries to delete or a plugin to remove it all automatically? Also
   what files, if any, did it change?

 * FM = FCKMonkey, the author just split it off of EditorMonkey since the sourcecode
   isn’t meshing with TinyMCE in the plugin as he had it. I edited my most to make
   it a bit clearer.
 * Here’s his uninstall info:
 * > Uninstallation
   >  1. Deactivate EditorMonkey. 2. Go to your Users/Profile page,
   > scroll to the bottom to the “Personal Options” section, and select “Use the
   > visual rich editor when writing”. This will reactivate the built-in rich editor.
 * It’s really minimal and doesn’t do anything to restore the previous state. It
   does remove EditorMonkey from running, but now you have no Rich Text editor at
   all. At least this is the case with WP 2.0.3 as I have it installed. I just downloaded
   WP again and unloaded the TinyMCE portion, but it’s still the same. I can see
   no way to re-enable the Rich Text editor.

 * Nix that. I just went into the database and ran the optimize and repair functions
   within MyPHPAdmin. I had to do that, then logout and clear the cache/cookies.
   After logging back in TinyMCE was working again.
 * It seems there are half a dozen database entries that stay after installing EditorMonkey,
   those have to be removed manually, then repair/optimize the database.

 * Assuming you did select “Use the visual rich editor when writing” and it still
   isn’t working, you should check the authors forum (assuming you did a search 
   here and it turned up nothing).
