In the last 24 hours on wikipedia, the edit toolbar has completey changed for me on here for some reason and none of the buttons work loads of them have gone missing and the layout is different but worst of all none of them work. for example clicking on bold text or the reference button none of them work at all, so i can not edit anything. can anyone help me with this?

There has been a new version of the Mediawiki software. I have noticed some effects, but not as bad as that. The place to post a message about it is WP:VPT - add an item to the bottom of the section WP:VPT#1.18 issues, under a level 3 heading (three = signs each side). Skim down the list first to see if someone has already reported the same problems. Remember to say what skin and browser version you are using (e.g. Vector, Firefox 7.0.1)

P.S. From reading VP/T it seems that it would be a good idea to completely clear your browser cache - see WP:BYPASS for how to do that - and see whether that fixes your problems. JohnCD (talk) 22:02, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
