Every time my edit bar has disappeared, there was an error in my code somewhere that wasn't being reported to the screen. I would increase the error reporting on your site or look at the Apache logs and try to figure out whats happening.

I agree with MrHyde but this sounds like a JavaScript error which should show up by right-clicking anywhere on the page and choosing 'Inspect Element' and then choose the 'Console' tab. If any errors show up, post them here and we'll try to sort it out.

Just to clarify, you can adjust your error reporting level from within concrete5 by going to 'Dashboard->System and Settings=>Debug Level' and setting it to 'Show errors on page'. Then browse the broken page and right-click and choose 'View Source' and then scroll down to the bottom of the HTML output and look for errors.

Yeah, I am using firefox and it is reporting errors. Hope this method doesn't seem to amateurish, but I saved the errors in the form of .txt file which is attached here. For verification, I checked another page that does not use the same addons (featured content slider to be exact) and came out clean, did not get any errors what-so-ever.

You should open it up in Chrome and see how many errors you have! Wow.

Mootools and jQuery don't get along so until that conflict is fixed, it's impossible to see what's really going on.

Search for 'mootools' in the forums to see what you're up against.

I removed the other slider on that page which was the one referencing the mootools js, but still getting the one other error
