If you can type them message box is right there. The missing part are formatting tools. You can still use BB codes if you remember them but it's now showing you the usual buttons on top making it easy.
The problem is with the browser. Please clear your cache and cookies and if it still doesn't work use another browser in the mean time. Chrome is working for me that means problem cannot be with the server. On the firefox the formatting tools are missing for me too.
You can also try updating Firefox and also check out if you have not set the basic editor set to basic editor but standard editor with extra formatting tools.

I'm on Chrome and can't access youtube, spoiler tags, bold text, and all that stuff. I'll probably just need to clear my cache or something.
Wait you have a problem with you- tube too? Check if the problem lies with Ad block.
