I've got 3 separate yet equally important (to me, anyhow) things I'd like to bring up here. As with all other threads I start, if this is not the right place for them, I ask that a mod or admin please both move this where it belongs and then let me know so I don't make the same mistake again.
Issue 1: WYSIWYG editor. When hitting the ENTER key while typing, I end up getting a new paragraph instead of a simple line break. A check of the HTML source code shows that the ENTER key generates a <p />, while what I am looking for is a <br />. I don't want to generate a new paragraph unless I hit the ENTER key twice (which is what happens in a normal word editor). This behavior throws off my post formatting, and forces me to go into the source and edit it there to get what I'm looking for. And while that's not a really big deal, it is a pain to have to do that. Is this a correctable issue?
Issue 2: Filtering Threads. In the PBP sub-forum, the FAQ indicates that one can filter threads by the tags assigned to them. On a desktop, this is a piece of cake. On all of my mobile devices, however, I do not have the option to filter threads. Samsung S9+ (my phone) or the iPhone 14 (my wife's phone). Neither one of them, whether you set the display to be mobile or to emulate a desktop, has the option to filter threads. Is this a known issue, and if so, is it actively being looked at?
Issue 3: D&D Beyond Character Sheets. Is there a way to use the character sheets manually without having to purchase any content? I get and support having to purchase content to use it for automatic feature generation on the sheets. But I have purchased all the content elsewhere and have digital and physical copies, and I really don't want to have to purchase it all again here simply to use the character sheets. Is there a way to manually enter the data I want to use? Say, for example, I want to use Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse for my Kenku. Or I want to use the Genie option from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Is there way to manually enter the data I want to use instead of having to purchase the content again?
Well, that helped on the iPhone. But the Samsung, for whatever reason, doesn't zoom. I checked accessibility, clicked force zoom, set the text thing to the smallest amount...and nope.

That helped with 1 and 3. Unfortunately, turning the phone to landscape didn't resolve the issue of no filter dropdown.

Then zoom your browser window out while the phone is in landscape orientation. I find 75% works for me.

I am already zoomed out as far as I can go. No filter option on mobile.

I don’t know about the Samsung, but on the iPhone you don’t just zoom out by swiping, you have to actually zoom out the browser with the button:

I’m sure it does, but I don’t know how. Google it.

I DID Google it; that's how I knew to go into Accessibility settings and such. And it simply does not work.
