    Hi, I’m new, and have been trying to figure out how to navigate TSC and post a blog entry for a bit, but it’s not working for me. I’ve read all the tutorials, and realized my blog entry page doesn’t look anything like the screenshots Tenebrous posted above. There’s no editing tools at all, just a text box. And my entries end up just a single paragraph on the page no matter how much I space them out. And there’s no way for me to add italics or anything like that. I’m working on an ipad, could this be the reason why? And if so, is there a workaround that you know of?

    Hallo! You on mobile?

    Hi! It’s an ipad with a keyboard attached. I’ve tried using both safari and chrome, and nothing works right. That question I just asked? There’s supposed to be three paragraph spaces. I put them in there as a test.

    Well, having a keyboard is a good step. Try looking for the Full Site button at the bottom of the page, that should get you to the desktop site (opposed to the mobile). From there, should be easy to follow the steps.

    I tried both ways. No dice, either one. Oh, well.

    Thank you very much for the help, though.

    One of the admins (Edana, Phil, Whispering Fool) should be able to help you. If you get in touch with one of them and explain what's up, then post your TOC, one of them can jump in and fix up the formatting so you can go on with posting your story.

    I’ll give it a shot. But honestly, it’s more than the TOC. None of the paragraph spaces show up at all, it’s just one big blob of text. That would take so long to fix. Thanks!

    Ok, that’s weird. The editor box just showed up. I did nothing different, I swear. My ipad must be screwing with me. 

    Test. 

    Testing for spacing. 

    I’ll delete this once I figure out if it works. 

    This is what it looked like less than a minute ago.

    No problem. Still, it's strange that no formatting options are showing up. Are you using Chrome? If so, you might try checking the "Desktop Site" box under Chrome's drop-down menu. That's after you've selected "Full Site" at the bottom of the page.

     

    Clunky, I know, but it should fix it. I'm writing this on my phone right now as a test. I've put in italics and a line break to see if it's fixed that way.
