Title: Problem posting links
Post by: EdinGa on November 13, 2022, 01:33:15 PM
When I try to post a link to the forum, the text in the link gets downsized to 2pt. I'll post an example. I can go back in after the post and change it to 12pt and fix it, but it does it again the next time.

Tried clearing cookies and that didn't fix it.

Eddie, that often happens when I 'PASTE' text from another source.  So it has become a habit that I 'Preview' the text before I hit the 'Post' button.  I know it is an extra step - but less trouble than modifying a post afterwards.

At least I know I'm not the only one.  :D  It started suddenly, and I have no idea what I did to cause it.

Are you using the hyperlink "button" to paste your link into? I don't use that "button" option. I just paste the link right into the message box I'm messaging on. Never had an issue.

Yeah, but Dihn they like you better than they like us!
Seriously, I have not used the Hyperlink button in years.  The problem is probably something in the programming of my OLD computer.

I don't. I just copy and paste from the page I want to link to. That worked fine until a few months ago.

Testing with the hyperlink button.

Looks like that solved it. Thanks, Dihn!

Looks like this button was the culprit. I must have selected it by accident at some point.

Never noticed that "Toggle View" button before...
 What does it toggle?
Looks like it takes away the text box on a reply  ???

All I know for sure is that it resized any link I posted to 2pt.
