I'm really appreciating and enjoying the new(ish?--I haven't played on the site in a while) formatting tools in the Notes section of the play screen. But honestly, I would find these even more useful in the "Add Text" area of the interface. Being able to add images and tables and lists and different fonts would be even more useful in the "main narrative" section of the log.
Any hope we can move these over to Add Text?

I am still thinking about this. One of the issues is that it would break the "Encode for Forum" option.

So I think I figured out how it's "supposed" to work.
Just use the Notes section for "main narrative"--describing characters, setting the scene, explaining what Oracle results mean. And just use the "Add Text" area sparingly to use the mechanical tools, then copy those over to the Notes area.
I used to use the Notes exclusively for, well, Notes. Key and recurring NPC's, basic Clock mechanics, etc.
Of course, if you're looking for other tweaks that would make ME really happy, having Custom slots be unique to each Save Slot would be awesome. That way I can come up with my custom "Dungeon Generator" tools for my D&D game, my "Horrors beyond Man's Ken" for Call of Cthulhu, and my Random Patrons and Cargo for a Traveller game. Maybe as a "premium" option or the like?

I feel like I'm missing something, where are these editing tools? Is it because I'm on Chromebook? My note section and add text section has no formatting options or the like.

That just changes the position of the note area or makes it bigger, no editing functions appear. Unless I'm being thick

Try a different browser or deleting you cache.

It looks like it's just chrome on a Chromebook, I guess I'll just do without it as I don't want to have to switch browsers and set everything back up, too many bookmarks and stuff. Thanks for your help
