Size/Font on mobile

[piratemonkey]

On mobile, there's no way to change the size and font of text for the editor (what I'm typing in) unless I request the desktop site (which is jank)

I've noticed that too and think it's annoying.

The editor apparently can't be configured to show multiple rows. Even though it goes to two rows on mobile.

If we put all the buttons in, it would come to 3 rows (at least, I'm aware of some bad layout behaviour that could cause it to go to more), which has always seemed a little excessive to me.

 

Size in particular is one that doesn't get used very much on any platform, so I'm curious why you want to use it on mobile?

I'd also be interested in adding the Size/Font buttons. The two buttons are also missing if the browser window (on PC) is reduced under a certain width. (I'm only a 24.5" monitor pleb. ) I think the site uses the mobile/tablet layout for the page at that point? Responsiveness and all that.

I mostly change the size or font of my posts in PMs/status updates.

 

Could also see it being useful when mobile users copy and paste text/links from another site to the forums, which often makes the pasted text either too large or too small. I suspect some people miss the "Pasted as rich text. Paste as plain text instead." notif at the bottom of the reply box.

Sometimes I might want to add something as a little "Ha Ha" For example, if I wanted to say something about an alternative motive to posting this, I'd do it like this. and sometimes strike through isn't what I want
