 * Try deactivating all plugins and check to see if this resolves the problem. If
   it does, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(
   s).

 * It’s a crude workaround, but I’ve found I can make the visual editor come back
   by clicking on the HTML tab, saving from there, then returning to the Visual 
   Editor.

 * It’s not a good idea to switch from the Visual Editor to the HTML tab and back
   again. It can seriously mess up your content. Pick one tab and stick to it.

 * Actually, you are lucky you can even do that. In my version of this problem the
   tabs are broken.
 * Are you using IE 7 or IE 8? Have you tried this under FireFox? In my case it 
   works in FireFox but not IE 7 or 8.
 * I found deleting the temporary files from the browser history allowed a single
   edit – post attempt.

 * I get the same thing everytime i try to install a new plugin. The HTML visual
   editor and whatever functions are below the post section. Any suggestions

 * People – please stop tacking these onto pre-existing topics! They are very different
   problems that will, almost certainly, have very different solutions. If you have
   started a topic relating to your problem, **please stick to it**.
