How do I combine two sixteenth rests within a tuplet so they become an eighth rest:

(I tried speedy entry: tuplet, eighth rest, sixteenth, but I get this):

Is something wrong with the way attachments are behaving with the new forum?

If you mean after the creation of the triplet, then delete the second 16th rest and change the first to an 8th. If you want to do I while creating, in Simple Entry, enter the 8th rest, then press alt-9 and set the triplet to be 3 16ths in place of 2. In Speedy, press ctrl-1 (opt-1 for Mac, I believe) and set it up first.

This newly designed forum is having quite a few issues. I hope they fix things, as I am struggling with it.

Kroy was asking about the oddity of the post in which the pictures were attached, which does appear wrong. My comments are all in the Forum Feedback topics that are dealing with the new forum format.

That's right. In my original post the text:
[attachment=1]Screen Shot 2019-09-12 at 04.50.42.png[/attachment]
shouldn't appear in the post - the attachment image itself should be there.
As it is the attachment images are in a separate box and you have to read each attachment's small text to decipher which one applies to which sentence in the post.

I believe that's because BBCode is turned off, so the "attachment" tag is not recognized. I'll report it in the other topic.
