Recently I had an issue with entering script for a new blog. The toggle switch rich text/plain wouldn't respond on Firefox Quantum. So I opened Safari and thought I had settled the issue, but forgot to log out of both browsers for the night. Following morning, the navigation bar got mixed up on the page. Can't figure how to bring it back. Eventually, I was able to publish through Chrome. Any cues as to where to start to correct the situation?

Drupal 5.x hasn't been supported in ~7 years.

Ok. Aren't the basic functions similar from version to version? What are my options like, according to you...?

There are significant changes from D5 to D7 and now D8. your option (IMO) is to update the to a version that hasn't been EOL'd and likely insecure.

"EOL'd"? As in...?

My website has been created 10 years ago by someone who is not into Drupal anymore, and I'm kind of by myself now. I don't have the expertise to change to a more recent version, without being supervised at the very least. Can I just do a reset to original default setting, or will I lose info and data already posted? I will not make brash moves as I'm not certain of the results.

EOL = End of Life. Announcement on 21 Jan 2011 and made public @ https://www.drupal.org/forum/general/news-and-announcements/2011-01-21/s...

Updates do what they can to provide upgrade paths. I have no idea the complexity of your site (ie, contrib modules and configuration). The more modules installed and in use the more complex. At minimum the site should be running Drupal 7.x. This is not a task that I suggest for someone that hasn't performed such a task in the past.

If/When you perform this task:

Insure due diligence is performed when researching all community contributed modules that are in use. Doing this will determine your possible path forward.

If your data is important to you, I highly suggest hiring someone to do this for you and that you hire them to perform regular maintenance to insure the code base is up to date.
