Yes...but, if Bran doesn't want her post read, ie wishes to delete it, that wouldn't be so good, would it!

You could just replace it with a 'smilie'

Or is totally visible on "active topics".

The problem is Candy, my smileys DO NOT WORK. I'm lost, my toys have been taken away from me and I'm facing the cold cruel world without even the kindest type of weapon. (smmiiiley!!!)

You don't need smileys Bran, you are great just the way you are.

Bran, maybe you have corrupt preferences in your browser. If you can find the folder they're kept in, try moving it to the desktop. The application should generate a new one, and may solve the problem. If it works, delete the old folder. If not, you can remove the new folder and replace the old, or reset your preferences in the new one. Might be worth a try.

Thank you, I will try. I'm all against corruption. ;-)
I see some tiny barriers here (find folder, move to desktop,.. but thanks, you never know, I want my bolds and italics ).

Bran, which browser do you use? you could try using a different browser and see if you have the same problem there. I'll bet you have a cache or cookie problem. : )

I use Google Internet Explorer, but recently I downloaded a more up to date version and this may have caused the little problem. I will see if I will try a different browser but must act carefully so as not to make a serious mess of out of it. :-) thanks!

Let me try...italics. And bold.

Okay--you can get bold, italics, and I'll guess the underlining, by putting the letter for whichever you want (i, b, u) inside these brackets []. To end them put a /i, /b, /u inside another set of []. I will use the wrong brackets to demonstrate:
if you want {i}italics{/i} it will look like this. But you will have to use the straight brackets, and they have to be facing each other: [[ or ]] won't work.

Hmm--lemme try something else: #6600CC color?
Nope-- That will have to be color:#6600CC inside [], and /color inside the second set. Each color has a different code, unfortunately--almost certainly too much bother.

I think I used the S with a horizontal line through it once. I have never used the S with a diagonal line through it, nor the quote-mark button, nor the pound sign button. I have no idea what they do or how they work. Huh--I've not used the media tag, either--I have no idea what to do with that. The button next to it says List, but I've not felt the need for that either. Oh yeah, the two T buttons--I think one of them changes text size; maybe the other is to change your font; I dunno.

Ah, yes of course I can do that, thanks a lot, Jackie. Just imitate the stuff when I open a post at 'quote'. I like it, just move around the problem. :-)
