which browser do you use? it should not matter but it would be good to know.

so there are two ways to make text bold:

if you highlight the text and choose 'Format' from the context men, you'll see a new context menu on which you can click 'Bold':

what happens when you try that and at what point does the process break down?

@alasdairm
No.. so that whole bar is “greyed out” or totally inaccessible. I have no access to it at all.. it’s still there but i cant use it at all.

Thanks for your help with this!

i think mal is right. you may have inadvertently clicked the "toggle bb code" button.

no i think it’s different.. i run all my apples on lock down mode.. so i think that may be the current issue @alasdairm

edit: no that’s not it well at least it’s working on my phone just not the damn tablet and that’s where i make the picks because it’s much easier.
