Wonderful and spot on post.

In the face of this, I'll advise you to use external markdown editors for composing your posts.
Various online and offline markdown editors exist out there which offers more features than steemit editor - you can Google about them.

As for the other issues that the site is experiencing, some are browser based. I believe all this issues will be sorted out by the programmers sooner or later. As we know, steemit is becoming better more than what was obtainable last year.

I pray this community keeps growing wider and better

Happy Steeming
