We recently had an issue where the full toolbar has dissapeared from all of our Sharepoint Site's on the Same Sharepoint Server, At the same time our Search Functionality has turned off ("The search request was unable to connect to the search service). I have tried the following already with no luck 1.Site Actions > Modify Web Part > Display Full Toolbar 2. Checked Permissions of Users for Contribute access. (I have full control and still cannot see the toolbar) 3. Checked to see if the site was locked due to Backup > Not Locked 4. Restarted Osearch Service 5. Restarted the Server I'd like to see if anyone else has had this issue, or can guide me in troubleshooting the issue. Thanks in Advance

Hi, Try executing sharepoint configuration wizard again from this server to check if it fixes the broken stuff.Thanks, Rahul Rashu

Any chance that your master page, list view or vwstyle.xml has been customized?

Hi cheezstacker, For this issue, I think there maybe three reasons cause it. First, do you made any changes to files in the 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES' directory? Any changes that happen in this folder may affect the entire farm. Second, do you use content edit web part without adding content? Last, using SharePoint designer to open a view to see whether its toolbar displays correctly. Please check the above, if there is any problem, please feel free to let me know.
