Changing Quick Reply to don't show by default breaks Reply, New Topic, etc.

I wanted the Full Editor to be the default option instead of Quick Reply. Under Member Options I made the following change and saved it.

Now Quick Reply is minimized by default, but Reply does not work at all.

I changed the settings back to what they were before and Reply still does not work.  I finally broke my sandbox!

Broken in what way?

These are the default settings at wedge.org so it must be due to another problem.
I'll look I to it later tonight when I have some time.

Maxx and Lorenzo, I finally got some debug data on PayPal thanks to you, so I should be able to reproduce the problem tonight or tomorrow... :)

Testing on my local install (a really default install)... Seeing no problem. "Show, off by default" is now set by default, can see quick reply, can click reply. Tried to force everyone (i.e. just me) to that, same results...

What do you get instead of these features..?

The trick is to disable pretty URLs...

That's just how it is. Your problem was that clicking the Reply link was redirecting you to the Display page, instead of the Post page, meaning Wedge wasn't correctly translating the URLs.

So this is either due to an incompatibility between your server (it's an Apache..? What version, etc? I could look it up myself though..) and your Wedge install, *or* something trickier, but I don't know what. I'd need FTP and phpMyAdmin access for me, and quite frankly for now I'm focused on too many things at the same time...

Thank you.  I was about to try that, I was disabling all the plugins first.  I disabled pretty URL for Actions and things are working again.  Very strange, everything was working fine with that setting before until I made the default post editor change.  Anyway, no big deal or hurry on this.  For your reference the server is running LiteSpeed, but cPanel shows Apache version 2.2.23.  If you ever feel like digging deeper, I can get the accounts you need created.

I *suppose* that it's a problem due to LiteSpeed. They claim to be 100% Apache compatible, but maybe not!

Yes, I imagine I should look deeper, but I don't know... It's quite annoying that there's no 'proper' way to get pretty URLs other than by using a custom htaccess...! -_-

So, it's... Only with actions..? How about another combination? (Activate actions, disable boards or topics, for instance.)
