Did it work?

It drove him crazy, apparently...

 

[DaveC426913]

It did, but in doing so I discovered I am not crazy. The font size control really does disappear.

That is a non sequitur.

 

[Algr]

I did it using BBcode. I don't recall ever seeing a font size control.

Go to his "Crazy" thread to see what is going on...

iPad, Safari, I cannot make that button appear anywhere. I also don’t know when it went away, it’s not something that I would notice.

Does your forum top screen look like this, with an edit box as the first table row?

I found it. It only appears when I try to make a new thread, not when I reply to one.

Exactly.

 

[berkeman]

Exactly.

Okay, so the workaround is just to use the Start a New Thread technique to make the text with the font size you want, then copy/paste it into your reply in the original thread. Then delete the extra thread that you had to create.

So what's the problem?

 

[DaveC426913]

Technically, I'm not actually complaining, I'm really just reporting that I'm pleased as punch that it wasn't just me losing my mind.

 

[Algr]

If you lose your mind, you can have mine. It's not doing me any good.

Etiquette has a requirement of "don't disagree." This one however presents a real conundrum!
