Not sure what you mean by font size and line through words feature.

I was going to try and draw up an example, but in this thread the box is as big as it was before, and the font size is now left corner, 2nd row. The strike through the words is the S with the line through it, plus other features.

I just looked at another thread and these features are not available yet, at least not on my IPad.

This whole thread is like it was before, but it’s not like that on the other threads. 
Did this occur when you started the only new thread or ?.??

Id start a new thread to see what it looks like, but I hesitate...

Edit - these only show up in responding in a thread of course.

And I just noticed, it’s the same when editing, ie, only showing half the choices up top.

Hey Rich - is there any chance the Mark Forum As Read button can be moved from the bottom (below all posts) to the top where it used to be? I'm not sure how it looks on desktop but in mobile, it's way at the bottom and you have to scroll past everything. Not a huge deal, but would be nice. TIA!

I can look into it.  Depending what you use it for, a faster way would be to open the site menu in the top right and you can mark the whole site as read.

That still won't help if you are only looking to apply it to a specific forum.

P.S. - All’s looking well on my iPad now. 👍

Done.   It is still showing up at the bottom, but I've stopped the button from hiding in the mobile view.

Looks fantastic - much appreciated!

Alternatively, on the main page (where the different forums are listed) if you click on the icon (football, puck or text box), you can mark that individual forum as read.

Any way to compress the amount of white space? I used to see more threads on a screen than I see now.

So I cannot seem to write or reply to a post off of my laptop any more, only my iPhone. Any tech savvy people out there with any idea why?

More info needed. What browser are you using and which OS?

Are you using Internet Explorer and if so which version?

I can't upload a Gif anymore. When I try to insert the image from URL nothing happens... It just sits there. If I try to insert it into the message box the link appears & that is it. Then a user has to click on the link to see the GIF. I'm using Google Chrome.

Are you copying the image address? 

 

I usually right click the gif I want to post, select "copy image address" and then paste it into a post using "post as plain text". 

The few times I have had issues is when I don't wait for the image to appear, before hitting submit reply. The times I just rush hitting "submit reply" before the image forms in my post- i get the link only, no gif. The times I wait for the image to form in my post, it posts the image. This might be a converting thing on the site's end. 

 

tldr; Try waiting for the image to form in your post before hitting send.
