      Trying to post a picture directly from Twitter - link works fine, but putting it in the picture button just produces a blank page?

        Does the link end in jpg?

          No, it's just posted on an a/c, will send you a PM to show.

            That's why it won't show. The link has to end in one of the accepted extemsions.

            I find that sometimes I need to open the photo in a browser and then copy the link to get it to work.

                  Is there a way to amend/change my username?

                  I've finally tired of the weird mutation caused by caron on the 's'

                        This is going to sound exceedingly dumb, but how do I put in a link with some text rather than just the pure URL? When I hit the link button it only offers a field for the URL, not for any text. Not sure if that's a bug or if I'm missing something.

                        I used to be able link https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football]like this[/url] but it doesn't work anymore. Many thanks!

                          Not dumb at all. I don't know how to do it either.

                            That particular feature hasn't been working reliably for a while

                                  Yeah, it works fine for me. The easy way, JM, is just to do the link as normal, which will produce this in your comment box:

                                  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football

                                  Note that the link is already 'active' (i.e. blue, and therefore pointing to the URL you've set) before you've even hit 'Post Reply'. So if I delete e.g. all but the first character of the above, it looks like this
                                  h
                                  – but that doesn't change that it's still linking to the same page.

                                  So as long as you don't delete the whole thing in one go (which removes the hyperlink entirely, obviously), you can simply delete and retype whatever bits of the URL you like, and so change it to e.g.
                                  BBC Football index

                                    It's the speech marks that have been added on this version of the board. Working fine now.

                                    To be clear, I was putting "(url=" (except with a square bracket) before this link, but it was being formatted away.

                                          My last 2 posts have given a blanks screen with {"nodeId":2332541} When I go to a thread and click to go to the last post on a page, it just goes to the top of the page.

                                            Sounds like you have more serious issues, but on text formatting have you clicked on the box with the underscored capital A at the top right of the reply box?

                                            Unchecking that box (which can happen inadvertently) removes almost all of the text formatting options from display.

                                              Sounds like something is blocking things somewhere on your device - Antivirus, browser shields or something.

                                              If you are using Chrome or similar, press F12, click the Console tab and see if there are any loading errors going on.

                                                Thanks both. Its my work laptop so may be something I have to live with as these things are pretty tightly screwed down. My mobile and tablet are fine though.

                                                  I can log-in at work but at home I get asked for password but the password is never accepted. The dropdown box stays red as it is if isn't even reading what is entered.

                                                  My issue at work is whenever I try to go back from a page to the index it sends me back to the page I am in, scrolling me to the foot of the page. Then I have to click Go To Top, then Today's Post - and always end up back on page 1.
