    WYSISWYG editor does not work with chrome. At least not on any version I have ever tried. Used to be a chrome extension to fix that, but not sure it works with recent versions.

    Reason is that the makers of the forum software (vBulletin) haven't coded for chrome to work with the WYSIWYG editor, or it is incompatible with what they have.

    If you want it, use Firefox. That works.
