Soldato
I'm I being thick here (probably) but on my phone app or through web browser, the icons for bolt/italic/link picture etc are greyed out?
I didn't change anything as far as I am aware and seem to work fine on desktop PC.
That worked for me, and I think it stayed working once I'd done it. Seems they're only available in the proper "preview" mode of the edit box, not the plain text one.
To be honest I'd use markdown if it worked i.e. underscores around text for italics, asterisks for bold. Seems like lots of the forum UI is hidden behind lots of taps/clicks now, on mobile at least.
