Yesterday, Blogger acknowledged the problem.
Occasionally, what is being observed is the toolbar in "Edit HTML" mode, and the problem is resolved by enabling Compose mode. In other cases, the problem may be resolved by bypassing or refreshing browser cache.
A few victims of this problem, who are direct customers of Singnet / Singtel, may be able to use the regional Singnet proxy "proxy.singnet.com.sg", as was done 2 years ago. This seems to be a more stable solution than the typical free Internet proxy server, which many use for anonymous or secure access, or to bypass local network controls.
- For Firefox:
- From the menu, select Tools, then Options.
- Click on the "Advanced" tab.
- Click on the "Network" tab.
- Under "Connection", hit "Settings".
- Select "Manual proxy configuration".
- For HTTP proxy, enter "proxy.singnet.com.sg".
- For "Port", enter "8080".
- Click on the "OK" button 2 times.
- For Internet Explorer:
- From the menu, select Tools, then Internet Options.
- Click on the "Connections" tab.
- If your computer is on a LAN, hit the "LAN Settings" button.
- Under Proxy Server, select "Use a proxy server ...".
- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- For HTTP, enter "proxy.singnet.com.sg" for Proxy address, and "8080" for Port.
- Click on the "OK" button 3 times.
- If your computer uses dialup, select your setting name in the "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings" box, and hit "Settings".
- Under Proxy Server, select "Use a proxy server ...".
- Click on the "Advanced" button.
- For HTTP, enter "proxy.singnet.com.sg" for Proxy address, and "8080" for Port.
- Click on the "OK" button 3 times.
If you are one of the folks affected by this problem, please provide some diagnostic details:
- What is the URL of the blog with the observed problem?
- Where are you located, and what ISP provides your service?
- What browser (name and version please), and what operating system, do you use?
If you like proceeding on your own, learn to diagnose your problems.

I am using Windows 7 RC1 with IE8 on one computer and the tool bars have vanished which makes it impossible to blogg. On the same computer Opera has the toolbars, Google Chrome doesn't, neither does Firefox, Safari or Avant. Now my other computer (Vista Home Premium with IE * 32 bit and 64 bit can't edit posts either. On my Mac Safari has missing editing tools but Firefox is OK. Could we have a simple explanation please of what is wrong?
Bob,
Right now, and based upon the relative recent quietness of this thread, I'm betting that the original problem has been resolved. Your variety of details makes me think that you have a more complex problem, possibly involving local settings or software.
Will you please state, for the record, where you are located, and what ISP provides your service?
i tried the way you stated. but instead, i couldnt even go into google. it kept stating that there was a problem loading the page. until i removed the proxy thing. =(
I have been super frustrated by this problem the last 3 weeks and am extremely grateful for your solution about changing the settings on IE which has worked! Thank you very much!
thank you very much!
now it works both on firefox and IE!
Hi i cant even see the taskbar and it says error on page when i click on ''Post Options'
Im using singnet wireless
IE 7
Window Vista
it worked already. thank you so much =)
thank you so much for the help. i did the proxy thing, but it didn't work, then i removed it and suddenly it works now in IE!
but i primarily use mozilla firefox, and the problem still persists there, no matter what i do. x(
thanks you're a genius!
