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 ....'

I get the same result on my S4 using Chrome.

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 ?

Yes

Yes

That could possibly be why they can get urls in the post body.   I went over to SMF2 years ago for its better security and moderation facilities.  I cant recall if I had underlined links in SMF1 but I think I may have.  I seem to recall in the dim and distant past someone asking about underlined links, but it really does look awful if I try change the CSS.  Everything looks cluttered and the index page just becomes one mass of underlines which makes everything very difficult to read.
   
Ive have a look on other forums and the vast majority dont use underlined links possibly for this reason.

The only other thing I can think of doing is choose a different contrast colour rather than blue.  For now Ive altered it to bold.

I saw the underline everything - it was truly awful!

I'm not keen on the bold - it's a bit too much.

Kitz: Try adding this to the CSS

Code: [Select]
.post a {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Ive just tried a different contrast,  still not sure if it looks washed out.

Kitz: Try adding this to the CSS

Thank you  I couldnt find a what style I needed to change.

Just done a serach and about the only reference to .post is this

Code: [Select]
.post, .personalmessage
{
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
line-height: 1.4em;
}

I'll change the contrast back and try adding your suggested code.

Success!

I explored the CSS on the Plusnet forums to find that!

Edit: People may need to do a CTRL+F5 to get the updated CSS.

Thank you, that appears to have done the trick.    :thumbs:
Now knowing the style name, I should also amend .personalmessage.

I'm not nitpicking, but the underlining now stands out in the line that prefixes a quote, and makes the top of a quote box look just a little funny. I obviously missed how truly horrible things got yesterday, so I imagine this is small...

Did the line prefixing the quote always stand outside the quote, before?

Yes it was outside, but would have looked something similar to the attached image.
Now anything in a post content or PM content will automatically be underlined.

I agree that it is the underlining that makes it look a bit strange, and Ive just noticed its even worse in a post with a quote such as this one here.

Imagine the post quote I linked to above, only all the way down the page, it was difficult to read anything.  :(
