    Hi Johnny,
    It is not a bug I'm afraid. Due to serious spam issues, we had to recently change the permissions for new or low post users.

    Users with less than 50 posts are not allowed to make posts containing images, attachments or URLs. Once you have reached 50 posts, you will have permission to do so.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Hi Johnny, I'm not on leave (unfortunately).
    We aren't lifting the rules for anyone; your attempt at upping your post count with blank posts in this thread is not appreciated. Feel free to join in any conversation on the site to naturally increase your post count.

    But when I as a member of boards.ie a couple of year ago it was only 25 posts before you can post a link, could you even apply legacy rules for me?

    If it stands for anything I've defended boards.ie when friends and family only had bad things to say!

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.
