@dooBdoo Pardon, sorry to bother.

Since I have gone to a #4 font, is there a way to keep from entering the poster's name again and again until it comes up "live" (in blue)?

Is there a way to set font 4  so I don't have to keep repeating all of the backing up and re typing?

Many thanks.

(In looking back at this, #4 font didn't happen and I had clicked on it!)

Hi, @ECBG!   You're never a bother, my friend!❤️

The Community doesn't allow us to customize a default font size setting, so we have to change it each time we post.

Just my experience, it's probably easiest to:

first type our post without making any font selections,

then select/highlight the post (the same way we select/highlight if we want to copy-and-paste),

then use the toolbar to change the size, color, etc., of the text we selected.

When we use the @+name feature, if we change the font size the "@name" loses the blue-green color but still works as a hyperlink notification.   

You can test the "@name" in a post, after you post it, by hovering the cursor over it or click/tap it...  you'll see that it's a "live" link, even though the color changed.

Hope that makes sense!   If not, or if I didn't understand the question, please give a hollar.  Take care.😊

@dooBdoo 

@dooBdoo Thank you!  I was doing all of it "backerds"!!!

[dooBdoo]

Hah! 😀 You are so cute, @ECBG (and that sweet puppy is adorable, too!)!   I hear my southern roots saying "backerds" complete with the appropriate, honey-smooth drawl!

You're welcome.   The way this site handles our text is clunky, but usually we can figure out how to make it work.😊

@dooBdoo  thanks for asking the question I was changing the font and it keeps changing back also! But on my I pad where do I highlight to change it.? I give up this small print won't change on my I pad!🧐

Hi, @1Snickers!  I am so sorry for taking so long to come back 'round to this thread!  I was away from posting for a while and haven't done a good job of catching up.

On my iPad, here's what I do to highlight and change the text.

I touch and hold at the first part of the text until I see the "Select" and "Select All" options appear:

I usually go ahead and select all of the text to change it all to the same size and color.   

So, after I tap "Select All" I see this (in the screen shot).   

You'll notice all of my text has been highlighted:

I then tap on the "Font Sizes" option

in the QVC reply box toolbar.

I tap on the size I want, and it applies it to the selected highlighted text.

I hope that helps, or at least gets you started in making it work for you.😊   

If you have more questions, just ask.   We have lots of iPad users here who are so helpful, so together we can usually find a way to navigate this cranky website.   

Be well and safe, everyone.🌻

Golly, you are all so good with tech. I sit in awe when I read all you do. Do not have a clue as to what you are speaking of but never the less it leaves me wondering.

I still look for a simple on and off switch or an escape button that works!

The only way I will make it to the cloud will be with a helium balloon.

@chiclets Thank you.  I'm a retired teacher and one of the others worked in an office or in technology.

Why thank you, @chiclets!  Not everyone needs or wants to get immersed in all things techie.   In my case, though, I've spent most of my life in IT design/development/implementation/support/management in a national healthcare setting.  It's something I enjoy so I feel blessed to be a part of the tech field.   We have a wealth of helpful posters with enviable experience, education, and knowledge -- it makes for a great, supportive "community" for sure.   Thanks, again, for your cheerful and thoughtful post.   You put a smile on my face.😊

 @chiclets  Thank you, but I'm absolutely not good with technology! I joined forums originally to learn how to use my I pad and improve typing, etc. It's largely trial and error for me!
