    I’m having a hard time reading everything here compared to yesterday, has something changed? Everything seems smaller. (On my iPad - maybe it’s just me, and I need to put on my other glasses. But it looks different. )

    Jodi,

    Post a screen shot. That might be my fault. I inadvertently clicked on the darkly skin in admin control and forgot to look at what it was set at before I did that. So I just picked the first one on the admin screen.

    Klaus, does selecting a skin on the admin panel set the default skin? I was not aware of that. I thought I could inspect and or modify the attributes of the skin. My bad.

    I don't know, but I also noticed that the forum looks different now. Maybe you can revert what you did?

      I changed the default skin to "Paper".

      It looks similar to what we had before but I'm not 100% sure it's exactly like what we had before Mark screwed things up.

      Thoughts?

          @doctor-phibes I like this font, but it’s harder to read - skinnier and thinner. Especially on the table of contents page (ok, that’s not the right set of words, can’t think of what it’s actually called 😄) - the light grey (read) and the light blue (not read) are really pale.

            I set it back to the "Readable" skin. Which I think is where it was before I screwed things up modifed the default.

            You can modify your personal settings to change it to anything you like.

                  I do too but any "dark" theme has this issue with the type ahead search popup.

                    Wait, now it looks different again? The "Readable" skin is still the default, though. @mark (or @Axtremus ), did you do anything?

                        Is there a way to insert a bulleted list?

                        I see the little icon to the right of the Italics, but when I select text, it only puts a bullet by the first item. Inserting a CR after each item doesn't seem to matter.

                        First Item
                        Second Item
                        Third Item

                        =-=-=-=-=

                          Seems to work fine. You have to start each line with a * or another kind of bullet marker. I guess you can also nest.

                            @klaus what am I doing wrong?

                            I make the list, then I select all the items on that list and hit the button. Only the first item gets the bullet.

                            First
                            Second

                              Well, that's a pain.

                                Oh, so you are selecting an existing text and want to convert each line to a list item?

                                Hm.

                                A "low-key" solution if you really want this would be to select the text, pop up a "search&replace" dialogue (which may or may not require a plugin in your browser of choice) and replace all CRs by "CR* ". If you are a Mac OS command line nerd, use sed.

                                      A complication would be that you need to know how to "type" a CR into your search/replace dialogue. That's a hard task for old farts some.

                                        ?

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          The reason I ask is that in the "retraction" thread, there are 62 items listed, and it would be nice to separate them with bullets, or perhaps number. Adding an asterisk at each item is a PITA.
