The header spells it out: Readmore missing after 2.8.0 upgrade. It used to be below the editing window. Now it's not. See screenshot. Please advise. Thanks. Bob Sprague

The buttons below the editor are Joomla editor-xtd buttons, added by Joomla and other extensions for use with the editor.
JCE has its own ReadMore button in the editor toolbar - this is not new, it has been a feature since JCE 1.5. It is preferable to use the JCE ReadMore button as it is context aware - if the readmore is inserted inside a paragraph, it will split the paragraph correctly to prevent this being done arbitrarily by the Joomla Article Manager when the content is rendered in the front-end.
I think my decision to remove them was accidental, the result of development of the new Joomla button feature, that adds a menu of the editor-xtd buttons in the toolbar instead of displaying them below the editor.
I will put the missing buttons back in the next update. Until then, try the Readmore button in the editor toolbar, it will do exactly what you want and expect.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.
