KEY USER PREFERENCES

[edit]

The following is quick breakdown of only the key settings for troubleshooting purposes. Settings not listed are considered 'non-controversial' at his time.

Appearance tab:

  • Skin section.-- Vector is the default setting. If you've selected one of the three other skins, let us know.
  • Files section.-- MediaViewer is enabled by default. If you don't find it useful - disable it for now.

Editing tab:

  • General options section.-- enable or disable the following options as desired.
    Show header and footer fields when editing in the Page namespace
    Horizontal layout when editing in the Page: namespace (toggles)
  • Editor section.-- The last 3 options are key
    Show edit toolbar - enabling this will give you the 'old-style' blue-button toolbar in your edit window. When enabled, the next two options should be disabled.
    Enable enhanced editing toolbar - enabling this will give you a newer editing toolbar. When enabled, it over-rides the above setting (if enabled) by default so disable the above if this is selected.
    Enable wizards for inserting links, tables as well as the search and replace function - Further enhancements added to the newer editing toolbar when enabled; most of which aren't useful to established editors. Leaving this option off seems like the logical choice -especially when troubleshooting.
