Possible issue with bolding text?

[Deadman]

I posted the latest chapter to a story late last week. The intention was to bold the words “The End” and the author’s note on the end.

However, after posting it, this doesn’t seem to be how it looks after posting. Did I do something wrong? Or is this just an error?

I’m going to say that it’s part of the ongoing glitches with the Rich Text Editor. In other words, it’s not you, it’s us.

I thought it might be. Not a huge deal but too bad that I didn’t get it to work. But what’s odd is that the underline I put on the Author’s Note did make it through.

It’s oddly specific about what it will and will not do. It’s fine with italics, but boldface is just not cutting it. It’s like dealing with my corgi.

Laughing because apparently your corgi is as difficult as our cats. 😆

In all seriousness, though, I came to see if anyone else was having this problem. Not just me, then. Is there a workaround that we know of? (I’ve also had linebreaks show up and vanish seemingly at random. Missing the old text formatting options like crazy.)

I wish there was a workaround. Unfortunately, no one’s found one yet, so we have to wait for whatever coding gremlins have infested the archive to be properly banished (which is impossible when a corgi decides we’re supposed to give her all our supper).

I’m glad that it isn’t just me as well. Although obviously it isn’t a super important thing.

Don’t we have a whole bunch of writers who are obsessed with gremlins and other magical creatures that cause chaos? Maybe they have some kind of magic spell?

You know the old adage: “Do not invoke that which you cannot banish.”

Guessing that’s what caused the issues in the first place!

Did someone invoke gremlins? Did someone feed them after midnight? Or get them wet?

Magic does have consequences I suppose.
