For the past couple of days I have not been able to colour my posts. This is very annoying as it was something I was used to doing. It feels as though I'm forgetting something when I post now.
Is this a glitch? Something hackers may have done? Although I can't see why. The other option such as changing size are missing too. And how am I meant to post a picture or a link?
Have others experienced this?

Also, some of my posts have disappeared. What happened? This is all most unnerving....

The best solution I have found is to use another phpbb forum to format the post and paste it here.

I've noticed such things missing as well... Like all of the options that you should be able to use to format your post... Quite annoying.

I think those options are for the paying members, how do you sign up?

So it's not just me.....hmmm.
Thanks for your suggestion, sc. But I am rather new to computers....so I'll just wait until the options come back. Sure hope they do. :?

Try [color=whatever color you want or HTML code] [/color].

Make sure you have Javascript enabled for this website. Some functions rely on that.

Hmm... that's odd. I always type my BBCode by hand, not use the stuff in the scroll-down lists and stuff. If you don't know about the coding, click on the hyperlink from the "BBCode" is on stuff in the options right below the text box of your post. This will open up a new window with BBCode help. That should work. :)

As for posts disappearing, you'd have to talk to one of the current moderators or admins about that. They might know what's going on, even when the rest of us are left in the dark, so to speak. :|

I assumed thats what everyone did. I thought the buttons didn't work right anyway.

A lot of people don't. I just do mostly because I use a colour that isn't on any of the lists to colour the text as.

Well I'm fixing it so when you select text it will actually surround the text with the correct quotes. It was broken before.

Ok, I can do this by typing it in. It's just irritating when something I have used since I joined WP is suddenly gone. This is going to make it a lot harder for people who are new to computers (and we are out there!) to have the options not there anymore.
Can it be fixed? Pretty please?

I can't remember the codes so I always used the buttons to do anything to my text. Makes it kinda hard now they're gone. I'm sure a fair amount of people are in the same boat as me, so to speak..

I'd say reinstate it, if only to keep a section of your base happy. :)

I've also noticed that the Options are missing. I'm also trying to get a really cool Avtar to work, and it won't. It's the right size and everything.

Being able to be defined by one of my Buses makes my posting experience very enjoyable. :wink:
