Whenever I press the globe icon it just inserts the URL tags and I don't get the pop up, any idea's why as it's a pain when on the phone or tablet?

No idea, sorry. In fact I don't use any of the clickable icons, above, but just instinctively type out the relevant bbc tags, as appropriate.

I just tried it on a Galaxy S5 and same result as you. No idea why, pop ups not supported? Bug? Browser config setting? Ad/pop up blocker Or.... Android does support pop ups (if that's what OS you are using, Apple I have no idea).

Because you are not composing in WYSIWYG view. Click the icon at the end to toggle between the two view types.

You can set the "Show WYSIWYG editor on post page by default." in the Look and Layout section of your profile.

And that gets 'Your browser does not support Rich Text Editing ....'

That will be why you are stuck in standard view on that device where you see the BBCode tags. Try it in a Windows, Linux or Mac browser.

Ive changed the CSS, but atm Im not convinced as it makes the index page look cluttered with underlines.

Perhaps it needs changing only in certain areas or embolding..  Unfortunately I just havent got time atm to go though all the CSS files.

Yes, that's what I normally use (Windows anyway, don't know about the others). Hence how I knew to post what the Globe should do

Personally, I always like to see the whole URL displayed, for the simple reason we all then know exactly what we are clicking on.  And so when posting I always do so, I simply copy & paste the link in plain text.

Yes, I know hyperlinks can be spoofed, and there's other ways to find out what they are before clicking but showing the entire URL does increase my 'comfort factor' before clicking a link.

I've taken it back out.  It looked terrible and made the forum look a mass of dreadful lines. 
It really was cluttered and horrible.

Ive just spent about 45mins going through the css and there is no easy way just to get hyperlinks within the post body as all the other styles cascade from post, so it would mean re-defining hundreds of other styles.

Instead Ive now emboldened hyperlinks and underline is upon hover.

Right now it doesn't look pretty on my iPad.

'Show unread post', for example, reveals a screen with far too much (IMHO) bold print - a bit like it was written with a child's crayon.

Maybe I need to clear my caches?

Cluttered and horrible, agreed.

Much nicer. I could live with that -- just as long as it does not cause any other future problems . . .

No that is the new one.   
I havent checked what it looks like on mobile.   
If you think it looks bad with bold, it was 10 times worse underlined.   It really was horrible.

Then ignore me for now, see what others think.   Won't be the first time I've found myself in minority.   

Especially as it's well gone midnight and you already said you were pushed for time.

It doesnt look too bad on my galaxy. 

The problem is that post body is the default style and everything else cascades from that.   So whatever I change affects all the other styles.   
I agree everything does look larger now, but it is the lesser of 2 evils.   The other alternative is text color.    I may have a play another time to see what cascades through if I change the colour of text links.

Out of interest I just went to have a look at what Plusnet do as I know they use SMF.    However...   are they still using SMF1 ?
