**Formatting** in mems doesn't work. Really annoying! 😡

Whenever I make a mem, and try to make it bold or italic, it just looks stupid; it doesn’t let me do it at all. eg. instead of going topic, it goestopic

You can’t do bold or italics on the picture mems; it only works with text-only mems. At least, that has been my experience.

thank you, that is very helpful.

Would it work if I made the text then uploaded an image? just wondering

No, it’ll still have same problem. Mems without images can have bold and italic formatting; mems with images cannot.

sorry, meant to do it at the start, forgot

If you used your own software to add text to an image, and that software allows you to style the text the way you want, then you could upload that image to memrise for a mem, and the text (with the style you want) would just be part of the image as far as memrise knows. Memrise wouldn’t alter that on the image you upload. However, if you did that, memrise also wouldn’t know what the text actually says - it would think it’s just an image with no text at all. That might interfere with some features, such as mems automatically being added to other courses when they have matching words (a questionable feature, perhaps). If memrise ever did add a mem search feature that let you search for mems by text, then your image-only mem wouldn’t be found that way either. But maybe they’ll never add such a feature, it’s too useful!

A post was split to a new topic: Off-topic comment in a thread about mem formatting

Well it does not work for me and I have no images in my courses. I’ve tried bold and italic and it still just looks like ** **

Could you provide a screenshot please?

Would like to see the problem you are facing.
