Likely same reason the media button which gets used a bunch is buried under a drop down while the ability to change font sizes is an icon in the editor. The admins set up the forum software and kept the defaults.
...It actually converts most media URLs automatically almost to the point of being annoying.

That’s easy enough to fix, the link button is in the menu bar even.

Yeah, that's what I tried when the spreadsheet embed was crashing the forum. Unfortunately, it tried to convert that to media as well and I have to type it in code.

But usually I just paste the url and it handles the code for me, No buttons required.

You don't need to squint as much when it's "high-res"
I almost want a media control to make ASCII art that will slowly "print" out one row at a time from the top like it was being printed on dot matrix. Sometimes the anticipation was half the fun. But that would probably make the young ones go batty waiting for the image to show up.

An animated GIF/PNG would do the trick, but would probably be hella big for a bunch of ASCII lol.

My text ringtone is the sound of an analog modem connecting at 9600 baud. I get laughs from the Olds and puzzled looks from the n00bz.

'red block' behind steering wheel location?

48v low voltage 2023 Investor Day - YouTube.jpg
The rear casting looks familiar. Curved section above wheel well seems optimised for flow in the mold.

I remember printing the Mona Lisa in 1980.

And I look back with fondness waiting for that dial up connect.

One day (late 80's ?) , my GM came into my office ... Charlie, have you got a min. I want to show you something. Going into a spare office was a screen, scrolling lines.. each line prefixed with a unique number, and suffixed with a unique number. (I think)

What is it? I said. 'Its called the Internet' he said.

What's it for?. 'For example, you can write some code and extract an article.'

Do you think we need it? He said

How much is it? I said.

$100,000 per year.

No. I said.

Most of the aftermarket accessories are based on a 12 volt system. Nobody is going to make a 48 volt aftermarket accessories because there is no demand for it.

You could have a growth business being the only 48v one.

And maybe good to keep abreast of the inevitable change. Or could end up part of the next wave of legacy accessory businesses going out of business. lol
