Hi
when posting on this site, the text on most of the the buttons controlling the dialog box is not visible, so there is no way short of hovering over each button to work out eg which button inserts code tags (see screenshot attached).
any suggestions?
This is an industry standard, and works the same way as many other web sites and Windows applications. (When Office introduced the Ribbon, they added text labels on the icons but that takes up a buttload of space.) Really, the way to deal with this is to learn what the icons mean. They are pretty mnemonic. However, I will allow that the "#" symbol to mean "add code tags" is cryptic and not intuitive at all. But the other icons are pretty self-explanatory, IMHO.
Hi NickyC
When I hover over the Icons I see a description of what the Icon is supposed to do...

jaslake that is basically what Nicky is saying, is that hovering is the only way to find out what the buttons do. Compare to Excel, with text labels underneath most of the buttons.
Sorry about that, didn't read carefully enough.

I hate icons.
Most are not self-explanatory.
