LJ: Can I get my blue stripe back?

[nancylebov]

Until recently, there was a narrow blue stripe at the top of my posting screen. If I put my cursor on it, there was a handy set of html tags that I could put into my post. It was fast, and it prevented html typos. I was very fond of it, even though I couldn't find a way to add a blockquote tag.

Now it's gone, and there's a richtext option which is very slow and clunky.
