This is very strange behavior.  The TinyMCE Editor is avaialble in Firefox and Chrome, but in IE it is not available. 

Only Textarea is available in the IE9.

First off thanks for letting us know. We have heard about some issues with IE9 and TinyMCE and are looking into it.

If not available at all can you let us know if you are running IE9 in compatibility mode when this happens or if compatibility mode is turned off.

If you do have it turned on then I would be interested in what happens when turned off.  If it does the same or something different.

I am not running IE in compability mode.  However, I tried compability mode too.  Same results, i.e. TinyMCe not available in IE9 with or without compability mode. 

When do you think, you could have a fix?  The majority of members are using IE and are complaining/shouting about editor not being available to them.

Actually I am unaware of any specific problems between tinyMCE and IE9 or anything that needs fixing.

Can you check for javascript errors or conflicts? I am not sure how you do this using IE9 as I don't have a PC but there has to be some way to do it...?

Right now, nothing known to fix. Working just fine in IE9 for other users and us in our test sites. Something local on your site We will need to help you track down. On Aug 30, 2012 6:23 AM, "Simple:Press Support" wrote:

I had been trying to investigate it.  I noticed that only on Simple:Press Forum page the Captcha and TinyMCE tool bars are not showing in IE.  Everything works fine in FireFox and Chrome.  Also the TinyMCE and other plugins which require java works just fine on other pages.  The problems are only on SimplePress Forum page on IE9.

I have pined down the problem to your several plugins on IE9.  I disabled all the plugins except TinyMCE plugin for SP.  The TinyMCE worked fine on all the browsers. I started activating plugins one by one and after several hours of playing around with plugins ON/OFF, the following culprits were identified.  If I activate anyone of the following plugin, the TintMCE disappear and only Textarea is available in IE9.

Topic Description

Topic Status

Uploads Viewer

Watches

Who's Online

Apparantly these plugins are causing Java conflicts on my system.  Any suggestions, on how to fix it?

Well no - we do test with those plugins active as well.

How about you give us a link to your forum page?

I have traced it to ShareThis Plugin from Wordpress,  Those plugins conflicts with ShareThis plugin.  If I disable ShareThis plugin, your plugins Topic Description, Topic Status, Uploads Viewer, Watches and Who's Online have no conflicts with TinyMCE plugin.  However once WP ShareThis plugin is activated, and anyone of the above mentioned Simple Press plugin is activated tool bars for  TinyMCE disappear.

Have you test it with ShareThis plugin?  

The link to the site is http://www.shaadiconnections.com/forum.  Right now, I have ShareThis plugin disabled.  I will activate it so you can see it yourself.

Thanks

One more issue I noticed, with ShareThis plugin activated, a user can only read posts posted by Administrator.  Posts by other members show blank.  In IE9, it is all messed up.
