    I signed up for an account a few weeks ago and decided to create it by linking the account with my Google email account.

    The problem is, I can't seem to set my browser to automatically log in. When I had another closed account in the past on the site which I signed up for using the traditional email method separate from Google or Facebook, I was always logged into boards.

    Is it not possible with a Google linked account?

    It seems to be a strange quirk with the Google login. It'll only keep you logged in for the duration of the session (and also logs you out after 25mins of inactivity). To remain signed in for longer, you do have to go down the username/password route.

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

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.
