I seem to have lost the ability to use the shortcut bar on top of my posts to do things like link, bold, and insert images. The buttons to do so are there but are all grayed out.
Sadly my ability to remember markup tags has been largely lost over the years. Is this an issue on my end or is something going on with the forums?
On your bar, to the very far right, seperated from the majority of buttons, should be 4 buttons. A back button, a forward button, a button with two brackets [ ] and a floppy disk save button. Click the button with two brackets [ ]

Upper right of the editor pane… depending on the width of your screen/display, there’s either brackets …. [ ] … or 3 vertical dots to get to the brackets.
At some point you went into BBCode mode. Clicking the brackets again should toggle you back to WYSIWYG mode For the editor.
I was actually just in that mode, like you, when I started to type this, as I was testing out some BBCode stuff.
And once you change it, your browser should remember that next time. It remembers what you last posted with.
Btw… thank you for using the Question type of post. I’m hoping to find a way for people to use that more when they have clear questions seeking an answer. The benefit to it is that people can vote for what they think the right/best answer is (one way to get a pulse on what people agree with). And the OP (or an Admin/Moderator) can mark a reply as the “Answer”. This then highlights that reply right below the original post. End result is that when people have the same question, they may find that answer more quickly. So, thanks again!
I actually noticed that when i came back to this thread. I was the 1st poster after the O.p. but brandons answer showed up at the top. It confused me for a second, i looked at the time stamp which matched my memory, then i realized it was marked answer and had been pinned to the top. Earlier today i was trying to find the model number for the solarmeters and wishing it was easier to find in a sea of text. ...... now I'm kicking myself thinking i should haved wished for a winning lottery ticket lol.
