If I am viewing a thread, I can see the text of the posts, but there is no ability to select text, from posts in the thread

No issue in pages such as https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles-points-1/ or a forum such as https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...advantage-733/

If I enter a thread such as https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...-ib-seats.html

it is not possible to select any text in the threads displayed

If I wanted to select and copy some text, I need to go into "quote" and then I can select the text from within the reply box

The announcements being highlighted in a yellowy colour is really annoying. If announcements were kept to important information for a short timeframe , then could be understandable, but for example, a secret santa announcement set to stay for 2.5 months hardly meets those criteria. The software update being in place until 23/.09 does seem to. Can the colour be reverted or can use of announcements be limited to important notices for a short timescxale
