I am not able to use normal text editing options.

Attaching URL, quoting, smilieys, etc. When I press the advanced format options that's next to the preview button, there are no formatting options present. I'd attach a screenshot, but I don't have that option or any options.

Just checked with this post. Mine's normal. All options generally available in Advanced mode are there. Hmmmm.....

I think there's a dedicated thread for problems since the update.
 
Could be that the campus computer lab is garbo...

Tried accessing the site Firefox instead of Chrome and it's still happening. And it's also happening with I.E.

Just a heads up that this is still happening.
 
I am having this same issue. This only happens about 50% of the time. If I go back and try to edit a post it removes all the "returns" and runs everything together like one big paragraph.

I have noticed a couple of other issues also. When I log in using the login tolls on the top left of the screen the text that says "User Name" and "Password" doesn't go away. When I delete them and try to log in it goes to the (paraphrased) "you screwed up, try again" screen. I also notice that sometimes I can't give likes even with the icon showing. I have waited up to ten minutes for the like to post and it still hasn't posted. It doesn't even show that the page is updating. It is like the button is dead. I am running Windows 10 with the latest version of Firefox. I updated my Java a couple of days ago. The button function is tied to Java. I don't know if the other issued are.

I just thought this information might be good for trouble shooting. I would post a pic of the box without the editing options but I don't have editing options to attach any pics. I will try to come back and edit to add the pic.

Edit:
I just went into the edit and it gave me the options so here is the pic.
