Anyone Else Having My Issue Here?

Hi.

I seem to be having an issue with the Dope website whereby I cannot right click and highlight any words/sentences/phrases in order to emphasize things, like bolding them, installing italics, etcetera.

I am using Chrome and Win 7 if it matters. This appears to be a fairly recent issue but I cannot seem to nail it down. IIRC it’s also not occurring all of the time.

It is indeed strange…just wondering if I am the only one, or…perhaps the lone idiot that lacks some easy update or command that will set me free!

:slight_smile:

Which style do you have selected?

There was a recent Chrome update that seems to have caused this. See this thread for details.

The problem only appears to affect the mobile theme (Sultantheme’s Responsive vB3-Blue), so switching to the Straight Dope v3.7.3 theme will fix it. If you don’t know how to switch themes, it’s a pull-down menu down near the lower left corner of the page on just about every page on the SDMB, just above the copyright stuff.

Interesting website issue. OK, I did what you said to do: BOLD!!
Looks like I am good, thank you. Very strange though, don’t you think?
