We have the Joomla editor disabled for all but admins on our site. I am trying to get CB Blogs set up but a user can only enter a title. The Blog text input box is not active--you cannot click inside the box to enter text. If I login as an admin, where the editor is enabled, I am able to create a blog post with the ability to type text into all text boxes. Is there a way to use the CB Blogs function without allowing use of a text editor?

I was going to implement your suggestions for editor settings but it seems that mysteriously it is now working properly without my doing anything...

Not sure why, but the blog content text box is once again unselectable/unwriteable. I have modified the Global Configuration settings as you recommended (default editor = none, set the editor in superuser profiles to JCE). Now it is working as needed.

Is there some way to disable the tool tips on the page for entering a new blog post? We don't need them and they are confusing to the user given that they can only use plain text format for their posts.

Also, there is now a Read More button next to the box where we type in the blog contents. If the user accidentally clicks it, it sends them to the home page of the site and they lose whatever they may have typed but wasn't saved yet. Is it supposed to do that? Any way to hide this weird button/menu as well? I went through all 3 Blog mode settings and they all exhibit this Read More button.
