I ask a simple question and get no answer, just jokes. Maybe I shall quit helping people too.
This revised forum whatever it is just sucks. Instead of improvements it looks like a junior programmer has been left to putter about.

Believe me Dave, If I knew, I would have told you. I use to have the place to click on for size of text, but it's not there that I'm able to find anyway.

Thanks for a positive reply, I had the selection available as well but it has gone. I can hardly read what is on my iPad.
The automatic capital letter after a period has gone sometimes too, why? It comes up later sometimes and not others. It definitely does not come up when you first start a reply.
Obviously it seems to be adjustable as some have shown it here but how, they must want to keep it a secret. I’ll have to see if the ignore list works still.��
Maybe the POTUS has ordered that Canadians get the cold shoulder, as he says we are “bad people”. North Korea, Russia are great, Canada sucks. This is not a political statement just quotes from your esteemed leader, who can even make the UN Assembly laugh. I wish our Prime Minister had the talent to be a stand up comedian.

Well, "There you go again" Dave. All the Canucks that I've met along the way, were(are) all really fantastic friendly folks. I'm certain now, that you're watching the wrong news channel. LOL! It remains to be seen who gets the last laugh. But HEY, can't we just all get along?

This forum version sucks in many ways. Anyway try this code when posting. You can change the size number depending on how big or small you want the text.



This is size 1
This is size 2
This is size 3
This is size 4

This is size 5
This is size 6
This is size 7

OK, thanks.
That was was happened automatically when you selected the font size before, it seems to me they threw the baby out with the bath water on this update or should I say down date?
No big deal but it sure is a pain in the butt to have to do some minor programming to get what you want, and zooming in to raise the letter size is a pain as well.
We get told we are going to get an update, with no instructions at all. There should to be a forum on how to use this forum efficiently, ask a question in the proper forum here and it gets ignored by the powers that give us rpthese updates.

I guess the owners of the site are trying to save server space and not allowing larger fonts...
