Atlantic & Southern Saturday Report

I am still mystified as to why I cannot change font size or type and font color on this forum.

As seen above, I edited your post using the normal tools at any user's disposal and could change font type, color and size just fine. Can you confirm you are using the toolset found to the right of the alignment tools in the menu to do so? See attached photo for the tools themselves.

I wonder if the Judge's normal browser is set up to block some or all of the Javascript implementing the editor.  Judge, please try typing italic in as regular text?

[jbvb]

if I type '[' 'i' ']' that makes the text italic until I type '[' '/' 'i' ']' to close the BB code. italic text added using Quick Edit.

some bold text done by typing the BB code into the regular editor.

If Hizzoner is composing his narrations in something like MS Word with mark-up, and then trying to paste into the window here, that might explain why the formatting doesn't survive the paste operation.  

So I think the right way is to do straight text (no formatting) off-line, then add the formatting to the text once it's pasted here.  (That's probably easier to learn than mark-up, particularly with the various ways that typos can mess up mark-up.)

I copied and pasted Word text successfully in the past. 

I am writing this text like I normally would do and will attempt to change the font, font size, and color.

I typed the text, selected it and attempted to make the changes.  Still no luck.  I will study Rusty's response and try again.

Rusty - I am using the normal tool set on the Forum tool bar for font, color and size.

Well, the last sentence is in a different font, or at least font size, than the previous two sentences.
