    Moved from Help Desk.

    When you say your iPhone, I assume you mean the Touch site (touch.boards.ie). I've just tested this myself and can confirm; You're not getting options to enable parsing URLs from the post but it's not defaulting to on either.

    I've also just noticed signatures are also not turned on by default.

    Bug reports filed.

    Changed to a feature suggestion, because the functionality needs to be wrote on the touch UI side; I can't bugfix code that hasn't been written yet :D

    However, signatures will now display on posts made using touch if you have a signature set. That was a bug, and has been squashed :)

    Nope, I'm afraid not.

    What I thought was happening was Touch had this auto-hyperlink functionality already and it was broken - therefore I marked this as a bug report.

    What is actually happening is Touch does not have auto-hyperlink functionality yet, and so I marked this thread as a feature suggestion.

    However, as a side effect of some investigation into this I found a real bug, that signatures were not being displayed on posts made from touch. And I squashed that bug :)

    I've still got an "issue" open for auto-hyperlinking URLs on touch, but since it's not a bug it'll have to be slotted into the development timeline somewhere when we get some free time, so I'm afraid it won't be resolved until we're back in the swing of things in 2012.

    Post a URL on touch without URL tags and it'll be converted just like it is on the full site.

    Coming soon to a mobile device near you once we roll out some changes in the next few minutes ;)

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.
