Do I look the same? Will I be the same?

Do I need an avatar? Do I want one?

WTF? You can’t click select/copy/cut text anymore? Seriously? Must be me.

Oh, I see. The default highlight shading is now invisible. Interesting!

This is a teste. One of two, Hugh. Or five.

See the sticky at the top of the forum. It’s a browser bug (Chrome and Firefox at this point) triggered by an incorrect setting in our mobile theme. Switching to the old Straight Dope v3.7.3 theme (lower left corner) will get rid of the problem.

It’s on our list of things that needs fixed in the mobile theme.
