XF 2.2 Under what circumstances would my controls be greyed out?

[bennylava]

As you can see in the pic, I cannot use the "B" for the bold function. I need to bold the sentence in the image, but I can't use any of the controls. It's the same if I make a normal reply, and don't use the "quick reply" feature. I tried highlighting, it seems no matter what I do the controls aren't usable.

So I was hoping someone here could tell me when and why your controls for your post message window, would be greyed out. Thank you

Looks like the BBCODE or PREVEW is toggled.

See this post.

Looks like they have "Toggle BBCodes" on. Click the three vertical dots and turn off the option. (sorry for the big screen shot, I'm on my phone)

Click the three vertical dots:
