Toolbar format/styles

I've got a project that's a little FUBAR. I use a home grown .Net CMS that I recently updated to include FCKEditor v2.5. I also then added a third party .Net forum which uses FCKEditor 2.1 (Mongoose Forum?). After lots of conflicts, I was able to recompile the forum to use v2.5. Things appear to be working EXCEPT...when the forum editor loads (not the CMS editor...that works fine), the initial view is this:

When I click the Collapse Toolbar triangle, it looks like this:

It appears that there's major confusion about rendering the forum FCKEditor menu bar...the styles or formats apparently aren't being found/applied. I've been through fckconfig.js several times and have not been able to tweak anything to solve the problem...but I may not know what I'm looking for. What should I look for that might affect toolbar rendering/styles? The intial view with the repeating icons is from the editor/skins/default/toolbar/ directory..for whatever that's worth.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Toolbar format/styles

check that all the files are correct and haven't been corrupted by the ftp upload. If they are ok, then you'll need to check it with Firebug or IE developer toolbar to find out what's going on.

Hmm...Looking at Firebug, I get this error:
------------------------------
uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.open]" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: http://localhost/forum/FCKeditor/editor ... gecko_2.js :: anonymous :: line 23" data: no]

Line 0
----------------------
Also, as the editor is trying to load, I get alert messages that say "Unknown Toolbar Item "Templates", "Unknown Toolbar Item "Blockquote", "Unknown Toolbar Item "
Flash", "Unknown Toolbar Item "pagebreak". Since the error is looking for fckeditorcode_gecko_2.js and there is no such file in the 2.5 download, I'm guessing that maybe I haven't successfully recompiled this thing after all.

Would that be a logical assumption? Anything else that is obvious from this error?

Thanks!

Yes, it looks like it's mixing files from the two versions

OK, never mind. I had some config settings overriding one another, and also had a severe caching problem with Firefox. Once I got the config straighened out and manually got rid of cached files in Firefox, things appear to be working now. I'm relieved...I was about to give this one up.
