I hate it as well.

And the colors are not right, we lost the deep blue I liked for highlighting text in posts. You can use the code like James did to get the old dark blu, but I agree with Dave, some of the recent changes are not making the site better.

Trying size and color :

color red : red

size 6 and color blue : size 6 and color blue

To my way of thinking the whole text size, capital letter issue is a complete **** up. OK I’ll say that differently, it’s a cockerel up, and not one comment from the forum dogs body.

Hey all,

Apologies for the issues on the site lately. I will attempt to address each of the problems you are having here, please let me know if you have any questions or if I left any issues unmentioned.

1) Text colors: Our tech team is currently working on adding the normal red and normal blue colors back into the text color selection drop down, as well as some other bolder colors.

2) Text sizes: We removed the ability to select larger or smaller text sizes to improve how our forum looks overall. You can still go into the "source" and edit text sizes there if needed, however we found that the site looks spammy with too many different sizes.

3) Capital letter issue: @onehundred80 What are the devices you are using (including versions) and Internet browsers?

Cheryl

hi I use an iPad running iOS12.0.1 with Safari and a PC running Windows 10 with Firefox with the latest update.
Both show the same problem.
edit
quick reply seems to work fine at first but not after that. I never hardly use it but I did today. This sentence worked fine.
This one needed to get the indent to get the capital. This next sentence worked fine.
This started with a capital only after the indent.

Indent required on this line.
And here.
Two indents here.

Thank you for the information. We will go ahead and try to replicate the issue on our end with the iOS version you have on iPad.

For the Windows 10 device, do you have an installed app/setting that lets you auto capitalize? Windows 10 on PC does not auto capitalize on standard settings.

Looks like we found a bug on the iOS version when typing on an iPad. We were able to get the first letter capitalized, but the next lines were not auto-capitalized. I will go ahead and let our tech team know.

Thanks

Auto capitalize is set and works after a few letters are typed in Word, that does not happen for forum replies using Windows 10.

Will inform our tech team on Windows 10 as well. Again, I apologize for the inconveniences in the text issues!

it must be a hard problem to solve as no improvements have been seen.

The first letter in the answer does not appear as a capital after that it seems OK, mostly.

Our tech team is working on it and trying to fix the issues for the 3 different devices. Since each have a different caps error, it is harder to pinpoint the issues. Thank you for your patience.
