Another RIA V3 gripe
When I'm going through the new posts in My Feed, I often find that I come across a review or comment on which I want to review or comment too. After I've done so, I can't find a way to return back to the same spot in the new posts where I was before I clicked to that review or comment. If I hit my browser's Back button, I'm directed to a couple of pages before that. Then I have to page through all those reviews for the second time before I can find where I left off. Is there a way to bookmark a place or some other method to return to the same spot? Is it just me, or is this also happening to others?

Hey RIA Admin, bring these back
(1) I miss having buttons to add formatting to reviews, such as italics, bold, etc. There are no instructions anywhere on the site re what kind of coding is required to produce such formatting, and the old coding I used no longer works.
(2) V3 has drastically reduced the allowed number of characters in the profiles of RIAers. For example, in recently re-reading the profile of FranksWildYears, I noticed a lot was missing, particularly the former end part that stated his About Me description was copied from a Tom Waits album named Frank's Wild Years. Without the full description, his About Me makes much less sense. I also noticed the reduced permitted space when I tried to edit my own profile About Me text, but V3 wouldn't allow more than about a third of my previous About Me description.
(3) Please add back -- in some obvious way -- a method to edit or delete a comment (a comment as distinguished from a review). Used to be able to do so via an icon of a scissors. Nothing's there now, unless it's particularly hard to find, and I searched quite thoroughly. At the same time, revise the old FAQ that gives (now) erroneous instructions on how to edit a comment.
