Formatting in these posts

Post by Rosie Gray »

I see a lot of the formatting options that I normally use seem to be gone now, since moving these forums. Can we have them back, pretty please? The only ones I use seem to be gone... bold, text colour. Would be nice to have bullets too. :D

I see I can use the bold if I add the code by hand, but that's quite laborious.

For me there are little oval buttons left beside where t says "Normal" I you hover your mouse over them you will see:
Bold, Italic and several other formating features

I can´t use my smilies lol

Lilith, the smilies work by typing the symbols; i.e a : + ) = :)

I know about the little buttons, but all they do is show you the code, and then you have to actually type the code in. You used to be able to highlight a word or a sentence, and then click 'bold', and it would past the code into the posting. It doesn't do that now.

I've e-mailed Gwyn and asked her to check what the program update may have changed so that this can be fixed.

All right, I see that there is a new version available, hopefully it fixes these formatting bugs!
