The comment bar for me is blood red and unresponsive. Refreshing the page doesn't help.

I would try logging out and back in but I don't see how to do that.

It's working for me. I presume you mean the icons in the toolbar at the top of the comment box are red? And even the ##\ldots## aren't working? It'll probably help to say what browser and version you're using and on what OS. And maybe whether you're in light or dark mode.

Logging out can be done from the "User" menu at the top of the page. If you're on mobile in portrait mode the menu isn't visible, but is actually present just to the left of the envelope icon for DMs. Or you can rotate your screen to landscape.

The ##\ldots## does work but that's all. Windows 11, Google Chrome Version 152.0.7977.83 (Official Build) (64-bit) Light mode. It's worked for years. Logging out and back in had no effect. I use the old fashioned white and blue layout but have the same problem with the newfangled version.
 
Ha! It was the [ ] symbol which I'm told means "Toggle BB code." It was the only other symbol that wasn't red.
