Sepiatone Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I mentioned a long time ago that I couldn't figure out if it was the site, or my PC that made it not possible for me to use the "rich text" function on this site. I had to use "plain text" if I wished to type and post anything here. For a short while, "rich text" became available to me, but after yet another "automatic update" from microsoft, THAT disappeared again. In plain, to be able to print anything in BOLD, I'd have to hit CTRL+B for it to work. Hitting the "B" at the top didn't work. Forget italicizing. Just couldn't be done. Smilies too would have to be done manually. But today I discovered that even hitting CTRL+B will NOT activate the bold function! Since there were NO recent "updates", and the only change I could see was in the look of this site yesterday, I've reached one jumped conclusion. Something HERE might be causing the problem. Is that possible? I'm about as tech savvy as a shoe, so I couldn't determine it with any certainty. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenIsHere Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The numbers for the different pages of the threads are also missing now. In the past we could scroll through the pages. How do we view threads beyond those on the first page of a forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are in white, the same as the background color. Just highlight the numbers and make them blue, and then you can see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 But all these problems we are now confronting are a worthwhile sacrifice, becuase we've finally gotten the turquoise that we've all been clamoring for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Why do they mess up the board like this about every year or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite1 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I always wondered why someone came up with the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Now I know why. Will someone who knows what the hell they're doing please fix this god damn message board already and then leave it the hell alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredCDobbs Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 >Fellas, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! We ask this question every time they do it, which is every couple of years. Someone at the top of some department decides that the format of the message board needs changing, although we never request any change. Then they change it. Then they spend the next two or three months trying to correct all the mess, the errors, and the problems they caused by changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkeee Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Where is the 'Reply Bubble' ? Twink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I see the reply bubble in the same place, the upper right corner of the posted message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkeee Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Not the 'blue' reply button. I meant the icon to post the prev. message along with the other icons i.e. emotiocons ....All of them are Missing. Twink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I've never noticed it. I copy and paste the prev. message, and I use the right arrow to put it in a white box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkeee Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 ...the arrows are missing too (: ..plus, when I 'click' onto the Italic button, it does not work ! (: Everything is 'screwy' ! (: Twink PS Plus 'Rich Text' and 'Plain Text ' , also missing. I feel as if I have been 'invaded' on my own computer .

Sepiatone Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 WHEW! For a minute there, I thought I was going nuts! How long do you think it will take for their techs to iron out these glitches? How long did it take before? Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
