It is useful to try out the markup options, particularly changing [ blue ]colours[ /blue ]", adding [ b ]emphasis[ /b ], using emoticons [ i ]like this[ /i ][ smile ]. You can also reach the markup information by clicking on the link which says "you may use markup in your posts" at the top of the page where you add your post.

If you are replying to a previous post and the thread has divided up into sub-threads, it can be helpful to include a brief reference from the last message, so that people who are reading in "flat mode" can work out who you are replying to. In the early days, we got quite confused from time to time and this was a solution to making things run a little more smoothly. Some people prefer it if you put the quote on a different colour, say blue (see the notes on markup) others just add a ">" before the quote. Alternatively you can put [ quote ] before and [ /quote ] afterwards take out the extra spaces first to make a very impressive (if space consuming) introduction.

If you wish to add characters which are not obvious on your computer keyboard you will need to use the latin-1 ascii character set. Here are links to a couple of sites which have ascii lists:http://www.ramsch.org/martin/uni/fmi-hp/iso8859-1.html,
http://www.endsite.com/therest/webhelp/iso-latin-1-js.asp, so you need never be without the letter "ñ"!

Please send me a private mail with any corrections/amendments, so that I can make changes.
