It basically looks like VGC's desktop editor but in mobile form for Trunks, weird, Lol.

Does anyone actually have it looking normal on their phone other than Trunks?

Me whenever I get ads on VGChartz on mobile that prevent me from positing anything:

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Yep it looks like that for me too, it's why I basically gave up on trying to post while using the site on mobile. It's not even an Android related thing either since I use an iPhone. Possibly browser related? But I'm definitely not switching to Safari for VGC. 

I use safari on iphone and it's the same lol

Well that sucks.. I can't even imagine what the problem might be then. Thankfully I mostly just use my PC to use forums or Discord or whatever so it's not a huge issue to me, but I imagine there's a decent chunk of people who do that are being affected.

It looks like the desktop one on mine. So like Trunks I guess. iPhone with Safari. Also checked with Firefox but that doesn’t make a difference.

I do remember having “your” basic version of the text editor on mobile at some point in the past though, and I think I remember there simply being a setting like “Use Rich Text Editor on Mobile” or something like that, which got me the desktop version I have now. I can’t seem to find that setting anymore though, so I’m not sure if that actually exists… I might have have dreamt it.

But anyway yeah I have the normal editor on mobile as well (and I’ve set it to mobile mode to check by the way, I know I mentioned in the other thread that I use desktop mode on mobile because of the huge ads but I made sure here).

Bandorr has fixed one issue with the site on mobile and is working on more of them. The "burger" (3 lines) when NOT on the front page when clicking through ("Charts" "Tools" Game DB" "Articles" "Forum") to show another drop down no longer redirects you to the front page. So it works properly now. 

I've also updated the OP with suggestions, bug fixes, etc. as well as a list of what has been fixed so far.

Fix for Rich Text Editor not working properly (Apparently it is just the mobile editor that is turned on):

  1. Go to https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/settings/preferences/
  2. Click "Forum Options"
  3. Make sure "Disable Mobile Editor" has a checkmark
  4. Click "Update Preferences"

Bandorr can look to see if we can tick "Disable Mobile Editor" for everyone. Does anyone use the mobile editor or would you all rather have the standard editor that is on desktop on by default?

I can't imagine a single person would rather use that mobile editor missing 80% of the features over the default one, Lol.

So I vote making it disabled by default.

This worked perfectly, thank you!
