    It's the "Use rich formatting" after the last post that doesn't work. You'd think it was an easy fix but it seems not.
    There is a workaround. If you post a single letter in the normal reply box you can then edit your post using RF. We really shouldn't have to be doing this.

    Mike is having trouble even using the normal reply box Tony, never mind the RF...it's a fair old mess if you ask me.

    Saying it's a fair old mess I have to say Flickr is having trouble too, they started moving the videos over to the new servers about 10 days ago and they are still not working.

    Alan, while I've no videos on Flickr, it's not an issue I've noticed, though I have noticed quite a few niggles since Oath took control from Yahoo, Logging in is fraught with "user not recognised" and even I cannot log out, no matter what browser I'm using.

    But that is there, as for here, I run a lean pc, keeping it clear of a lot of unnecessary files, I always have done, so that is not the answer.

    There is definitely an issue with using MS Edge, but to be fair MS Edge has issues with most sites, so I'll blame Mr Gates' team for that.

    Something else that seems to be creeping in slowly, Mr Google seems to be making things slower with browsers other than it's own Chrome.

    Is it a sign of the times, where we need a browser or app for each individual operation!

    After all, mobile devices have practically gone down that road.....

    And I mistaken believed computers would make things easier! Oh what a fool I've been.... :-D

    Shambles is what I'd call this Forum. P45's spring to mind. I don't have videos on Flickr but I've noticed it's been getting a bit cranky.

    I've not heard of Oath. I thought it was SmugMug that took over from Yahoo.They are Smug and we're the Mugs.

    Just looked on Flickr help threads and there is also a problem with photos and that could be Tony's problem on his thread.

    So I see. I thought it was behaving oddly Seems it's not just the RSPB that can mess up.

    TJ, you're right, I got it wrong, it was AOL (USA) that is now part of Oath.

    AOL UK was bought by TalkTalk.

    I think generally software is a big mess today, there's too much individuality and less harmonisation in many prog/websites, and mobile devices are a classic example, where you have to have the app before you can access the site/data or whatever.

    30 years of the WWW.....
