Forum posting edit tools missing

I had Windows Internet Security playing up on me, and followed a suggestion to set everything back to basics.

From then on, every page I loaded on PriusChat triggered a pop-up about "did I want to allow all content...", something like that. I managed to dismiss that, by a change to security settings.

But now, I notice the Forum posting interface is looking strange. Text is kinda small, and all the tools, ie bold, italic underline, emoticons and so forth are missing. I'm guessing again it's due to my setting everything back to basics in IE, but I'm lost, as to what I would need to change/enable, to restore the missing edit functions.

I'm pretty much convinced it's a Microsoft conspiracy to cajole me over to their new browser Edge (which seems a piece of you know what), but that's another story.

This stuff:



You know what, it's all there in FireFox, where I'm posting this. Everything else about the site behaving better too. Maybe it's time I got off that sinking ship...

 

With all the snow we're getting, I'm thinking to move to the Rav4 Hybrid site, lol. It'll pass...

Yeah, whatever's happening with my IE browser, it's effecting everything; Google home page looks clunky/different too. I'm halfway convinced to walk away, go over to FireFox. Since "upgrade" to Win 10 that's been a common theme:

1. Built-in email program complete shite, so moved to Mozilla Thunderbird.
2. Built-in "games" complete shite, so downloaded Winaero's bundle, basically the Win 7 versions of built-in games.
3. Movie player complete shite, so use Media Player Classic.

And now, looks like I have to drop-kick Windows Internet Explorer off the end of driveway, Windows Edge is complete you-know-what, so I'm getting comfortable with Mozilla FireFox.

 

Yeah I "solved" the IE problem by switching to FireFox. I doubt mr softie cares.
