Thanks very much. We do use a cache plugin (SG Optimizer). I went into its settings and excluded our discussion board from its cache system. However, any new topics continue to come up in HTML mode, not visual. If I manually clear my browser’s cache, then the first time I create a new topic, it’s in visual, but any time after that it’s HTML. So it does seem to be a cache issue, but I can’t figure out just what. Any idea? chrs
