Bold on iPhone app

I've noticed that if I use * as well as the click on font menu in the iPhone mumsnet app it sometimes makes it gets confused and swaps the bold text for normal.

It's weird and I thought at first it was me but my last post on the feminist chat board was quite long and I definitely read through and checked before hitting post.

So instead of looking like this with the one bold word highlighted.

It will get swapped and look like this with the one bold word not highlighted.

Hey @NewDaddie - yes essentially all the bold selection button does is add '*' around the text, so it will mess up the formatting of the two are combined. It's unfortunately quick complicated to untangle...

Thanks for replying Tim, I'll try not to combine the two ways. It's just easier when quoting someone else to copy paste their post and add the two * after but then to use the formatting menu in app for everything else.

Yes it's certainly not ideal, we may simplify the process, but until then we appreciate your patience!
