I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.1. My site is here (forums are restricted but I created one sample one that isn’t):

http://www.redkitecreative.com/dev/ivas/forums/forum/sample-forum-for-checking-fancy-editor/

I have ‘Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies’ enabled, but the fancy editor never appears, not even for logged-in site admins. I tested it with three user levels. I tried switching to Twenty Twelve but it made no difference.

I’m using TinyMCE Advanced on this site, I tried disabling it but the fancy editor is still not appearing. Please help.

That link above won’t work unless you’re logged in, sorry!

The “Visual mode” of the fancy editor is cumbersome and was causing issues for many users, so it was removed in bbPress 2.3.1.

You can turn it back on with this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

Thanks – I installed it and it seems to be fine.

By the way, I can’t login to this site in Chrome, it just refreshes the login screen every time.

Looking into it; someone else reported the same. Probably because it’s missing a redirect, and we’ve added some caching for logged out users.
