[MyBB]A few problems

[Maestro]

Hi, I have 3 problems with MyBB, post as a user and administrator. I'd be glad for any help to resolving these issues

1. Adding links to the top bar

This is the code for my current links:

Code:

<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help"><span>{$lang->toplinks_help}</span></a></li>

If I try the below code, all I get is an empty space where the link should be:

Code:

<li><a href="http://erepublik.com"><span>{$lang->toplinks_help}</span></a></li>

2. Seeing the edit toolbar when creating a thread

Whenever I try to create a thread, instead of the usual editing tool bars with button-BBcode I get this:



I've had this problem for about 2 months now, if I CTRL+F5 then I get the normal tool bars, but it's generally a pain in the ass. This only happens to MyBB forums though.

3. Can't find a MyBB Plugin

I'm looking for a MyBB plugin (or code) that will fade in/out different messages in the header. An example can be founder here.
