Text editing?

[Iridescentone]

It's probably right under my nose, but I'll be damned if I can find the "rich text editing" feature I've seen mentioned.

Please enlighten me.

In your user bar menu (hover on your username), click Preferences, and make sure this box is checked:

Use the rich text editor to create and edit messages

Thanks for the reply, but I have already made sure that box is "checked". Still not seeing text editor. What am I missing?

Hmm... What browser and OS are you using? Can you post a screen shot?

Not sure how to post a screen shot.

If only ^^. Thanks, but I do not see those editing tabs above my reply box, like you're showing in that screen shot. My text editor is not all that "rich" at the moment.

Actually, I'm wondering if this is the case for many other members. Haven't noticed much editing in other members' posts either, not like there was before the system change. Just an occasional emoticon now and then.

Since no one else seems to be inquiring about this issue, I wonder if members are still editing posts, but I'm somehow unable to see the edits on my screen.

Color me mystified and vexed. (phantom emoticon inserted here)

I wish I could see what you're seeing. What version of explorer are you using? JavaScript enabled?

This is all I see when I post....

Just this yellow reply box.

Similar box if I select "More Options".

Ahh thanks for the pics. Do you have JavaScript enabled in Internet explorer?

Try the following to activate and enable JavaScript in Internet Explorer:

Goto: http://www.wikihow.com/Enable-Cookies-and-JavaScript

Execute the procedure, "Method 1 of 3: Enabling Cookies and JavaScript in Internet Explorer" (it will be the 1st example on that page).

Hope that helps,

Hi,

Haven't messed with it yet, but I will.

Thanks for the help.

OK, let me know how it goes if you get a chance.
