I've seen this a few times, particularly with computers that have ATI brand video cards.  If you know what type of video card or GPU you have, try looking for updated drivers.  Missing buttons are caused by compatibility issues between Java and DirectDraw.

Is this happening with every oekaki you visit, or a specific board?  Wax Poteto 5.8.0 changed how Java uses DirectDraw so that glitches should be less common.  If you're using an older version of Wax Poteto, you may want to try updating to 5.8.0.

One oekaki i tried drawing is “Wax Poteto” 5.6.4  and that particular one i used to draw YEARS ago and i had no problems with it until now. However, this other one i joined recently a few months back is “Wax Poteto” 5.7.1. I'm not sure what i should do.

How do i update Wax Poteto? I'm unsure about updating things like Oekaki and stuff. Though, i have been planning to make one sooner or later as soon as this gets fixed. :p

I second Jaz's request, Wac.  I'm a little confused as to how to update Wax Poteto.  I currently have the 5.7.1 version and am trying to update to the 5.8.0; I take it then that I should be using the 5.7.0 Patch?

Yes, the "Patch for 5.7.0" is what you need.  There's no "overwrite" folder in there, so just copy all the files to the server and you'll be all set.

I've made different sets of patches to reduce the number of files that have to be copied to the server.  You can use one of the larger patches, but it takes longer.  The "overwrite" folder contains all the new files that should be copied to the server.  Everything that is not in the "overwrite" folder should not be uploaded.

Also, if I can throw in another question here; is it possible in any way to change a Wax Poteto oekaki into a Wacintaki Poteto and still import pictures, comments, and the like?

Yes.  Wacintaki and Wax use the same database and config files these days, so you can just replace the Wax files with Wacintaki files, and all the comments, pictures, and animations should work fine.  The trick is copying the right files.  You'd need the "Wacintaki Poteto 1.5.1, full install", and then copy everything in the "oekaki" folder to the server, overwriting all the Wax files.  If you're comfortable giving me your server login, I can do it for you.

The problems with the applets won't be any different with Wacintaki, however.  Both oekakis are using the same applet code.  For now, you should only switch to Wacintaki if you want some of the new features.  If you've made custom templates with Wax Poteto, they won't work with Wacintaki.

I also have the same problem that can not make the Paint in same version and want to use the same one.I think that that I will be stick with it.
