Hi folks.  Had this problem for a while where the html editor is not visible in a forum when you try and add a new discussion topic and recently figured out why it was happening.

When there is a description in the forum then it seems to break the html/text editor and it does not appear when you try and add a new discussion topic.  It's just a blank page with the forum title and the description.  No editor.

Once you remove the description, the html editor becomes available again and you are able to add a new discussion topic.  Very strange!

Atto is the current default HTML editor.  I have tried using TinyMCE and the plain text editor but none of them fix the issue.

Has anyone come across this before and/or have any suggestions on what might be causing the issue?

PHP version is 5.4.45

Any help greatly appreciated.
