I have to just start typing to see where it is going to appear. Used to be the cursor would appear first.
Now it does not appear until I start typing. If I try to skip two or three lines down, I don't know where
I am until I type, as the cursor does not appear until then: I just have to guess.



Like now, I just pressed the 'enter' button three times and ended up three lines below the above, but
there was no indication I had done so until I typed the word "Like". It is a guessing game.

I characterize it differently: the insertion point isn't visible at the left-hand margin of the reply window - I thought it was just subsumed by the vertical frame - and returns to blinking visibility after any character (including a space) moves it away from the edge. This occurs in the Quick Reply window as well as the Full Editor.

I think it's been going on for weeks, if not a couple of months; if so, it may antedate any software upgrade. I treat it as a characteristic, a minor nuisance rather than a malfunction, and ignore it.

I was able to replicate the issue. Thank you.

It's a function of the forum display style/theme. Try this:

Click on your username on the top right.
Select "Preferences"
Choose a different theme under "Your Preferred Forum Style (aka Skin/Theme)"
For example, I was able to see a clear cursor in the reply box with the "new light" theme.

I followed your directions, nothing happened other than I now have a tannish colored borders.
Not a problem, I've been working without the cursor appearing for six months now and am used to it.
Thanks for looking into the problem for me.

Try a different theme. Some of them display the cursor clearly.

Now the new reply Title Post appear
on the far left side . How do I get
it back to normal?/

I clicked on 'sunny dropshadow' and everything
(statistics, posters, icons,new members are
on the far left, and the yellow color is
disgusting.

That's also under your control. Click on your name (upper right-hand corner) and select "preferences" from the menu that drops down (first choice there). About the fifth entry down is "post layout" and you have a choice of top or side.

Play around with the various settings and choices; there's more there that you may not have been aware of yet. Even after a these years!
