This is a minor issue but worth asking. I have no problem posting in the forums but, oddly, none of the buttons above where I write work. I can't make things bold or in italics, I cant use the funny emoticons (or whatever they are called), or any of the other options. None of them work.  Is it a setting of some sort that I need to change?  Thanks, Ray

Are you using Win 10's Edge browser? I'm having the exact same problem with Edge...  :P

I have a habit of typing my BBCode tags, but I just checked and no problems for me. Using TenFourFox 45.4.0 (on an old G5 PPC Mac); but I also use Win 8.1 here on other machines.

There's an update to the forum software that I'm looking into and might be relevant. Generally we wait a few weeks after initial release to make sure it's stable before we apply it.

Yes, and so is bob48 as he posted. Maybe this is the problem?

I have no doubt it's MS's fault... :P

I'm pretty sure we have this conversation before somewhere. If you also have IE11 installed, and log on here using that, then it all works fine. It is an issue with Edge.

Try restarting your computer.

Really?!? "Turn it off and on again." is the best you got? You must work in IT.  ;D
