Paul M.,
Apparently my group's message formatting choice of 'text only' DOESNot reproduced in my test group. Changing your Editor Preference on the Preferences page of your Account /will/ affect the creation of new Wiki pages (sets the format of that page). Clicking on the hamburger menu to show advanced formattng in the WikiI think this may relate to screen width, as Bruce suggested.

No Bruce. I'm using a Macbook Pro with OS 10.11 plus Safari. Your own preferences for your own account don't affect the group settings. Just change (at least for testing purposes ) in your Account (your name, top right corner). Website Preferences. BTW, I am using a MacBook Pro too, 13 inch - OS 10.15.2

== == Shal, what you suggest is unlikely since my Macbook Pro is a 15-incher. The Wiki page is being displayed in the Safari window full screen . And the image is not enlarged unduly. I also checked that possibility by enlarging and shrinking the image in the window by using [ Command + '+' or '-' ]. Also checked by dragging the window larger and smaller. Neither option caused any truncating of the dropped down formatting menu for the Wiki setup. It still apears to me that our group's setting to 'text only' must be suppressing those text formatting options. Nor does there seem to be any way to change that in my account's Preferences accessed upper right corner under my name. I even checked there, JIC. Maybe there's something that I'm still missing which does allow adding those text formatting options/buttons for Wiki but so far I haven't found where/how to enable them. I do have the sticky Wiki page with a photo displayed at the top of the message page and that's the main thing I was after, after all. I can live wth the two black periods flanikng the photo.

I just tested on one of my groups that is text only and the formatting bar has all the tools as long as my account preference is set to html and the window is large enough.

Paul, Shal, what you suggest is unlikely since my Macbook Pro is a 15-incher.? I believe what matters is the pixel width, not the physical width.
I've noticed the problem when the window is below around 1000 pixels wide.
That said, I'd think a modern machine like that would have more than enough pixels in the default screen size. So maybe there is a problem with how the site's responsive code is interpreting your device's parameters. I also checked that possibility by enlarging and shrinking the image in the window by using [ Command + '+'? or '-' ].? Also checked by dragging the window larger and smaller.? Neither option caused any truncating of the dropped down formatting menu for the Wiki setup. One of my complaints with the current setup is that the collection of buttons is "locked in" at the time you open the page. Changing the size or zoom afterward won't cause the missing buttons to appear. This makes it tedious to test the width issue. Nor does there seem to be any way to change that in my account's Preferences accessed upper right corner under my name.? I even checked there, JIC. It should be there: -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

And I found I could make a change to the wiki with the extra tools, and it remained, even after I changed my editor preference to text. In fact, I could use the functions on previously created pages even after changing to text editor. Frances ? -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

== == Well Shal, color me extra slooow!, but I finally understood the explanation about changing the Editor option in my Preferences to HTML temporarily. Once I did that yes, the other formatting buttons showed up in the Wiki Formatting Bar under the dropdown menu and I was able to effect the wanted changes. So thanks to everyone on here who offered me help and suggestions, and also for all the explanations and patient nudging. I never would've figured it out on my own. And with any luck this extended thread may help out some other newbies who're having a similar problem. Cheers! Paul M. == |
