Text editor options greyed out?

[OttoinGrotto]

Heyo, as of maybe a day or two ago I suddenly have very limited options on my text editor. Can't hold or italicize, or do fun stuff like add pics/emojis/gifs. In the upper right there's a paper and magnifying glass still, but when I click on it nothing happens. This is on Chrome, Android.

How do I fix this? I'm guessing I fat fingered a setting or something.

They’re trying to make you conform

Looks like you might have gotten into preview mode. Try to click on the icon that looks like a piece of paper with a magnifying glass to the side. Assuming you can see that.

If I'm seeing your screen shot correctly, it looks as if you clicked the Preview button (at the top right - an icon of a page with a magnifying glass). It lets you see what your post will look like if you hit Post Reply. Click this again and the options should not be greyed out.

Yeah, I can see it, and I try to click on it, but nothing happens.

So weird thing, I can also see this randomness.

Oops - I see now that you can't click the Preview button, is that correct? How about trying to click the 3 dots next to the Preview button, then click the [ ] button. This toggles BB code (which is just another way for techies to use the Bold, Smilies, etc.).

See if this works.

That worked!!!

Gif as proof!
