Yesterday, I and one or two other members had a problem with Windows 10 Edge browser where the "Use rich formatting" button would not work on this site; today the problem seems to have been resolved as I was able to upload a test image, however, on some browsers, like Safari, other's are still having problems. It would be helpful if either this thread or a new dedicated Tech's thread for any site problems/issues could be made into a sticky so it stays at the top. That way forum members can find it easily and add any technical issues they are having on this community. Thank you in advance.
Will start off with Bob's post from this morning:
Quote: Yes the site has plunged downhill again. Rich Formatting button is not working on Safari either, though instead of the old error page message I get a "That was unexpected page" telling me the problem has been logged and reported. It remains to be seen whether anything happens. Personally I would start a new thread about the issue, but believe it or not I can't actually start any New Threads. So I would be grateful if anyone using a different browser can start a new Thread on the Community Upgrade page and try and alert the powers that be. Even if it is a browser related issue, Safari is not exactly one of your rarely used browsers.

That's interesting to hear about the same thing happening on three different browsers Tony; I've never tried uploading from a mobile but seen the results on here where they flip side on.
A new one for me. The "Use rich formatting" link has suddenly stopped working in Chrome. After waiting for ages with the little spinning wheel I get this error message.
Funny thing is Firefox isn't affected which is how I was able to post the image. Tried clearing cache and rebooting PC to no avail
I give up.

Yes, same here yesterday Tony; whilst using Win.Edge but today it's working; appears to be hit and miss as to when "Use rich formatting " works; sometimes it affects other browsers including Firefox - but not always. I've given up trying to work it out as I've also carried out all the usual clearing cache/cookies and checking browser settings (browsers get updated automatically) but it seems an intermittent problem. Today it is working fine :) as you can see from me being able to quote earlier post and add emoji even though I haven't manually changed a thing with browser since yesterday when it didn't work.
