The bullet points -- the inset list button -- doesn't seem to be working since the forum changed it's layout the other day.

When I try to write a list no bullet points come up. The sections (bullet points) are separated by being placed in a line below the previous point. But there's no actual bullet point anymore.

Here's an example (three bullet points):

  • The Celtics would have their starting five sorted with Rondo, Pierce, Gallinari, KG and Perk
  • They would have their backup bigs sorted with Sheed, Davis and Jeffries. Plus Curry as a sixth big in the rotation
  • The Celtics would have no backup wings are guards

  • Yup
I believe the more politically correct term is "Wizard Points" now.

(Sorry...don't have any actual insight, but couldn't resist)

tried it below thhough, and it definitely does not work

Here are some problems with bullet points:

* no relative importance attributed to each listed item, unlike a numbered list

* sometimes creates formatting problems in Word or other programs, for example doing bullet points when you don't intend to, or once you have bullet points you can't get formatting back to normal

* term "bullet" has violent connotation that some parents might find objectionable

* that's all I can think of for now

Thanks, Who.  I'll bring this up with support after I get back from vacation.  It's left our Rules looking like a jumbled mess.
