Weird issue with the 'bold', italic, underline, + emoticons
-
Having issues with these functions lately...If I try to bold a particular word or phrase, the entire post ends up in 'bold' mode (also with italics and underline)...also, if I try to place an emoticon in a particular spot in my post, it gets bumped to the end...I have found a work around for the latter (although should be noted just for the mere fact that it's not working properly at the outset) but can't work out the 'bold' issue Anyone else having this issue and has it already been passed up to the 'powers to be'? LOL

I've noticed that if you have finished typing & want to go back & insert n emoticon in the center...it automatically goes to the end. Yes, I've figured that one out too...just copy & paste it where you want. I've never had the underline issues. I wish the word or the phrase would stay highlighted so that you can apply more than one effect...line bold + italicize at one time.

Hi Rich, Sorry to learn that you are experiencing issues with the text options. At present, we have no further reports of members experiencing issues with these options. I have tested the text options on my end without issue. Reviewing your description of the issue that you are experiencing, are you aware that there is an auto end to the start of text options? If you do not manually put an end to the utilized text option, the option is automatically ended at the finish of your text and therefore your entire post is subjected to the text option rather than just the word or phrase which you intended. Example: click the bold option, type the word or phrase, then click the bold option again (starting and ending the text option). Then begin typing the additional text in your post. Repeat this process as desired. In previewing your post, you should now see that only the text which you have chosen appears in bold, etc. If you have typed the entire text of your message, then decide to utilize a text option, highlight the chosen word/phrase then click the desired text option. In previewing your post, you should find the chosen text appearing in the desired text option. If you have taken in all of that, remember that you may utilize more than one text option at a time. Click bold, then italic, then underline. Type the text chosen for the options, then end the text options. In previewing, you should see the chosen text displayed with all chosen options applied. Regarding the emoticons, if you decide to add an emoticon as an afterthought to your finished text, you may manually type a text-based emoticon which will automatically appear as a graphical emoticon (if found within our selection). Example: typing a colon, then a question mark will produce our graphical 'confused' emoticon, etc. When convenient, please let us know if this information has resolved the issue that you are experiencing.

No other reports? Heck, I even had a diff solution...copy & paste the emoticon.

Hi oobu24, In indicating to Rich that there are no other reports at this time, I was referring to the issue that Rich is experiencing with the text options. You clearly indicated that you are not experiencing issues with the text options. The placement of the emoticons in afterthought is the same for all of us and has been this way since I joined the message board. I addressed this issue separately from the text options issue. Anita

I read it as no other reports. Maybe I needed more coffee.
