Why are all of the buttons for formatting greyed out (at least on PC)?

Whether commenting or making a thread, these buttons have been unusable for as long as I've been on the website. Sometimes when I access the site from mobile they are available though so it leads me to believe it is an issue with my browser? I use Edge, if that helps. I'm pretty terrible at remembering how to format posts and such so I always found the buttons useful throughout my 15+ years on various forums lol

That's strange. I've never had an issue with that. I'm using Brave.
They look like this to me:

it's probably edge. i don't think many people use it. most probably use google or firefox or other browsers. what do you use to access the site on mobile?

I know that formatting buttons stop working when you enter preview mode (it's the first button from the right) so maybe that's what's happening somehow?

I'm worse, spent like an hour tinkering with the character counter not working, and turns out I had that enabled.
