Formatting text

Bando · 07-02-07, 05:23 PM

Maybe it's been asked before, I searched but couldn't find it. My problem is this: Right now I have a blue screen to typ on. I can not format my text, I can not add smilies. This afternoon I was typing on a white screen where I could format text and add smilies. Why is this?Reg. Bando

You have probably changed your display properties for these forums.

If you scroll down to the very bottom left of the screen you will see two drop-down boxes. The one the right is to select your language & the one on the left selects what background you will get when you log in. Try experimenting with different ones until you find the one you like.

I prefer haylazblue, which gives me a white background with balck text. The problem is that some members use a different choice with a dark background so they can't read my posts (or, at least... that's what they claim

).

I just did a logout and logback in when this happened to me, it worked.

Thanks for replying.

@ John, I did that , to no avail.
@ Mush. Sounds like a good idea, will try that next time it happens.

Thanks, both of you.

Log out - log in did not help. I just had a normal post reply screen, the next topic it was like this, and still is. I cannot add anything, cannot use the format tools or the spellchecker, adding things is not possible and so on. Tried restarting PC, log on again, nothing works. It happens at random. I saw a message of Steed having the same problem. It may be worth a closer look by a moderator, as it is frustrating. Regards, Bando
