I see mse has b*ggered up the forums in the name of progress. Can we have our preview and edit buttons back please, and can the site possibly not go completely insane if you dare try to paste your diary entry? 😘

Palavers this afternoon as downstairs flat's kitchen sink has been massively overflowing and dripping through into ground floor flat, and for some reason this turned into me, the top flat and only flat not involved, coordinating, but whatevs.
We are being bold and making cannelloni for dinner. This will be a big eating down the cupboards step forward!
Okay this new forum formatting is actually painful and stupidly time consuming

Ugh, just looked at @jwil's diary and the quote function to see who has been replied to is just internet links. Abeg mse, there is a time to be money saving and it is not when coding a website used by millions 😭😭

The new formatting is really weird and annoying! Are you on a phone or laptop? I'm on a laptop and I can see the quotes on mine. The edit button is there for me too. I had to 'paste as plain text' otherwise it went all weird.
You do so well from Olio, it mostly seems to be bread when I look at ours!

No edit button for me. That's really annoying as I quite often end up having to edit my posts when I read them before posting. Also don't like it automatically putting an extra space between paragraphs when you use the return key. Quite often I want to do a list which looks better in single spacing than double!
