I’ve got a pseudo solution:

I modified the WP database directly (updated permalink_structure to the format I wanted);
created a .htaccess file that matched those options

The site works now as I wanted it to, but I still cannot change the permalink structure from within the WP admin interface. If I go to the options-permalink page, it now recognizes my permalink choice (second option), but if I try to change anything, the page still reports success but does not actually update the database nor create the .htaccess file.

It’s not ideal, but at least it’s working. Anyone have any ideas why this behavior would be happening?

yes

thanks, much appreciated

Can anyone point me to an explanation as to where/why the <!--more--> / next page functionality does not work for authors (only editors and admins)?

Thanks

NotePad++ for me as well in Windows
Bluefish in Linux

Aha, finally figured it out. I killed all my extensions, but that wasn’t it… it was my long-ago modified userContent.css.

Once I removed my userContent.css file, the toolbar appeared perfectly.

Once again, PEBKAC. Though reassuring in some ways, I hate it when I’m the problem.

Thanks all.

Yep. As mentioned, the toolbar displays properly in IE so all the images are there and everything is as it should be… except that it’s not displaying in Firefox 1.5.

Adblock is aware that there are images present in the page that could be blocked (bold.gif, etc.), so Firefox knows the objects are there, it’s just not displaying them (Adblock is disabled).
