I posted last Friday(below) without issues, went to post again on Monday and my reply bar is ghosted out. I cannot click on the gallery to open up a link to drop my postimage pic. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks for your help.

Are you posting from a phone or a computer?
I don't use a phone for BF, so if you are doing that we'll need to pull in someone who does use a phone.

Not sure what you mean by "gallery". I use imgur and save my imgur links offline, with a description of what each link is for. Then I just copy and paste the link. So I'm a bit lost with that.

I'm using a phone. I've posted this way for a few months without issues.

There's a box above the post reply button. On the top off that box is a tool bar. The far left Icon is B for bold. The whole bar is ghosted out and I cannot select anything within the bar.

When previously posting. I would click on the Gallery Icon. It would open up with a set of chain links, I would paste my postimage link and click reply.

Try clicking on the 3 dots upper right where the arrow points then on the brackets [ ] circled and see if that fixes it.

Explanation: you had managed to accidentally enable “BB code” which is used to view and type the forum codes for stuff like adding links and emojis, instead of the quick links that do that
stuff for you and let you see it the way it looks when posted. Kind of like an under the hood mode. Just in case you were wondering what that was.
