Source button gone in settings!

SilentSerenityy June 19th, 2021

Myself and others use html to format our bio which I've done for years now. I've gone to update my bio today and the source button has gone (turns the bio to code) so it won't save the format of the html.

How can I format my bio without that source button?

Thanks.

@SilentSerenityy I was able to get it to accept some formatting.

In a desktop browser (Chromium in my case) click in the editor, then Ctrl+Right-click and choose Inspect from the context menu. The tag you want looks like <body contenteditable="true". It's inside an html tag, inside an iframe. Right-click that body tag, or any tag inside it, and choose Edit as HTML.

Ctrl+Return to finish editing. Save the changes in the normal way.

The formatting doesn't necessarily look the same in the editor as it will in your profile, unfortunately, and some formatting is still lost, but I think that has always been a problem.

Formatting is being lost in the forum, too. Looks like a general policy.
