Hey Boss,   Davina,  Kazza,   and boardhost--  I'm  not sure I like the new fixes,  in regards to the copy and paste thing.  When I copy  my  hangman game from my word doc,  it  always  gives me a box  that says  "Do  you wanna allow  webpage access  to  clipboard"   or  something like that.   When  we had the OLD  response boxes,  this board didn't do that.   so---why  do  we have it NOW,   and can you fix it  so that we don't get that  "ask  for permission"  box?   thank you!! 

Hi. I am admin on a Boardhost forum. You'd think I'd be immune to some "experimental" behaviour by the Boardhost Gods.
But no.
Suddenly, after they finally sorted out what formatting items we have (BOLD, ITALIC etc) and Images Youtube etc and emoticons - well, ALL of mine have disappeared. From the REPLY box or Quick Reply box.
Just a reply box now. NO Bold Italic Underscore Image Size Colour NOTHING. AT ALL. Cannot get it back.
A prize to anyone who can solve this one for me.
P.S. Done many of the things like check javascript is enabled, viewing options etc. 98% of my "flock" still have all their formatting - I may have to kidnap one of their pootas!
HELP!!!

Hellooooo. When you go onto My Profile and Viewing Options do you have advanced messenger ticked? It is the last box. If you do try unpicking it which will ct it to the old style messaging options.

 
Hi. Tried that - no dice

Mike, just be patient. Two or three weeks ago, there was a constant back and forth with my reply boxes.  Sometimes I even couldn't post any pictures. All of a sudden it was fine again. Don't know why or how long it will last.  When replying to a post, have you tried to tic "quote" and then use the reply box that will show then? this way all my formatting icons used to be back again.
Boardhost seems to continue in experimenting on some of us...

 
Hiya! Yeah, I open up my forumand there's new stuff - like Santa's been!
I can be patient. I tried clearing cookies, temp history - you name it.
It is annoying in the sense I cannot change text colour and size and have to revert to html for bold and that.
I emailed Boardhost and they gave me a list of things to try - nothing worked.
It's something on my poota as 98% of my flock are ok.

Oh well! Nice to meet you guys. I was Googling "Help on Boardhost" and saw you lot crop up!
Sherlocking!

Like Santa except half the time stuff disappears! 

 
LOL yes, a thieving Santa.

Well, still no tools of any sort and I'm Admin!! Everyone else has them (well, apart from one other poster).

I wrote to Boardhost but they cannot help me any further.

I may have to go to bed for 23 years, now.

Oh well. No emoties (sniff).... no one cares...

It's no good. I may have to ..yes... have to..un-plug...

Whoop! Whoop! Put out the bunting!
