I'm having trouble critting. I can't press the B button, the i button or really any of them.

I know that I can't type it out like
Hola!


or for any of them really, but it just makes everything slower.

Anyone know what's going on? Just another bug?

The B button? Like on your keyboard? :?

The only weird thing I noticed is that when I click on an emoticon (in PMing) then it doesn't show up. I have to type the code for it in myself - which isn't a problem, but I just thought it was odd.
everything i loved
became everything i lost.


Would you like a review?

no, I meant B for bold and I for italics.

And the quote button doesn't work either.

Mods, help!

BBB means that nothing happens when the bold or italic buttons are pressed when you're posting a reply to a thread. Not working for me either, how very strange.

Well... At worst you write it out.

Bold: [*b][/b*]
Italics: [*i][*/i]
Quote: [quote*][/*quote]

No stars, of course. It would look like this: [b*]blah blah[/*b] I don't know why it wouldn't be working, but I write the codes out myself anyway, so I wouldn't have noticed.

Yes, I have noticed it. I usually only use the [quote] tag, but I noticed it and it slowed down my critiquing (as 3B would know :wink:)

I type out the [b], [i], and [s] tags, though. That was not as much a problem as the [quote]. Meh, at least we can get around it until problem is solved. :D

Did you say you were having a problem with emoticons? I am. Whenever I click on one it doesn't show up. To actually get it on my page I have to drag it there, and then all the writing shows up with it. And sometimes when I click on it and it doesn't show up, it shows up when I click 'submit.' But sometimes not.
There are also weird little decorative letters showing up randomly in the middle of people's posts on the home page. I can't seem to get rid of them and know one else seems to have this problem... Oh, well. Anyone know how to fix these?
Of course it's happening in your mind, but why on earth should that mean it isn't real?
