Bwaahaahaa. Have you seen the length of my posts?
I could get
to work (the "pre" button in the format bar at the bottom). I didn't see a Preview button to see what my post would look like after submission. So, I had to submit and then see what it looked like (to see if it would be different than the jumbled mess created by the "pre" button). Nope, still a jumbled mess.
I figured to convert the text into an image but the first couple methods that I used didn't work. Good ol' Paint worked. Was getting ready to upload to Imgur to put a link here, but remembered this forum lets user insert images into their posts. I clicked Edit and, yep, I was in edit mode. I then highlighted the
text to delete, positioned the insert point, and clicked the camera icon in the format bar. Then I dragged the .png into the drag box that shows up at the bottom of the post. The image showed up okay. I reviewed the modified post and then clicked Submit. Nothing happened. I tried several times. Could not get Submit to work.
Went to another page and came back to this thread. The Edit button was gone. Although I was in the middle of editing my post, Idacil replied and locked me out (instead of locking out Idacil while I was already in edit mode). Argh!
I was fast enough to have the Edit link available and start editing my post. The forum software yanked away my editing privilege WHILE editing my post. Explains why I had problems before. There is an Edit, I'm in edit mode, but someone replies before I click the Submit button, and I can no longer Submit.
I was quick. However, I was quick to get back and go into edit mode. I wasn't quick enough to complete the editing (highlight the text, delete, insert an image and check) to get ahead of the next respondent. With that behavior, no one can ever be quick enough. The go into Edit and someone could immediately thereafter reply. I don't work in the millisecond range for editing.
Thanks for the heads up on why my current editing session got locked out (and forcing to discard the changes).
