 * I HAD a capability in the post manage write/edit mode where i had two tabs that
   offered two options = normal/code.
 * in code tab = when i copied text with links the links code was embedded = live
   links when i published.
 * i went through my plugins and some of the admin options and can’t seem to get
   this capability back.

 * Did you do anything like upgrade or add a plugin before it stopped working?

 * i upgraded Simple Forum which is causing some admin issues. like i see my tags
   in posts and in the tag cloud but in admin i get 404 messages on the tags. so
   admittedly my admin is a bit quirky at the moment. however, i had this issue 
   before the SF upgrade.
 * the visual/code tab option = is that a standard within wordpress or a plug option?

 * It is standard in all recent version as far as I know. Could you temporarily 
   deactivate SF and see if your tabs reappear?

 * i have gone through the process of deactivating most but not all plugins. i did
   deactivate simple forum, simple tagging, simple tag-cloud widget. i will try 
   and do the rest when in the mood 😉
 * still get 404 when in tag-admin mode though they work ok on site.

 * Also check your Users/Profile settings and make sure that the **Use the visual
   editor when writing** box is checked off.

   now = admin > user > profile 😉
