    This may be a feature but I just wanted to check anyway.
    Instead of typing into the URL I typed into the google search box today and for once saw the google results for boards. But something stood out:

    Why is the Dublin suffix there? Dublin is a regional forum among others.

    Weird, I cant recreate it here, just getting the standard "boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'" page title. Maybe something to do with your location settings in Google? Or browser locale settings even? A quick lookup for site location suffixes is giving me nothing so far, so not sure where it's coming from.

    It is odd alright.
    Meta doesn't hold the info <title>boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'</title> so it seems to have been added by google itself.

    I tried going to https://www.google.co.kr/search?q=boards.ie and using the option that pop up to change to English. Then it pops up again with the Dublin suffix

    Same thing for Germany www.google.de/search?q=boards.ie, change to English

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
