Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, my search ninja skills need work.

Speaking of which... Is there a way to search that says the equivalent of: show me all the posts since March 15th?

Did something happen to the on-page editor?

When I put it into my preferred mode (non-WYSIWYG) the text renders as an indecipherabley light gray on white... I loaded the editor in both IE and Firefox with the same behavior.

Has it always been this way and I've just not noticed before?

Yeah, it looks like the service that runs the forum changed the editing box.  I'm getting black text on white initially.  I only get the light grey text when "editing" an existing post and picking the bbcode editing mode.

Any word on the above?

Also, is there a way to determine what year a post was made? I only see a month/day timestamp displayed.

EDIT: Timestamp display (including enabling the year) options are set under Profile>>Preferences accessible from the top forum menu.

Not that I know of.

Seems like the quote function is broken for me. Anyone else experiencing this?

It is almost invisible to see for me, but it is working.

Here is an example of what happens.

Do you see it with all quotes?

Make sure you got your postings in the right edit mode perhaps?  One of the formatting buttons, should be in the same group as "insert emoticons".... pressing that will switch editing modes.  I found the one makes it VERY hard to read the text you type in, and it may also be fubarring your quoting.

Thanks; did the trick! Now if I can find someone to fix the Bioware forums for me, there shall be feasting!

That might require one of us buying Bioware back from EA

Test to see if the change in profile preferences resolved the issue.

EDIT: "Allow BBCode" fixed this.
