    Here is how you bold on this forum: . Hit the brackets keys twice and put a B and a /B in the brackets.

    That's very techno, why not just press the "B" button in the reply box?

    It's easier to see use all the text editing features if you click "Go Advanced" before you complete your post. You get a more detailed menu above the text box.

    Hmmm, it works if I go "quick reply". I think I could just copy and paste this in to the advanced reply.

    Let see if it works! TESTING

    It looks like i could just do "quick reply" because it has options on bolding, underlining, etc.

    No bolding in the sig line?

    I have tried, but it doesn't work.

    A lot of times features are disabled in sigs because spammers use them.

    • Bloviators
    • Sammy Spammer
    • Marvin Mill-meister
    • Diploma-Printing Larry

    Just a test of the "list feature." Maniac said it didn't work for him. You have to get the tags right. Go here http://www.degreeinfo.com/misc.php?do=bbcode and click on the "list" tag and it's explained.

    Now that's REALLY weird. the bullets were there when I posted this - an hour later, they're GONE - looks like the column where they were was sliced off!

    Try again:

    CROOKS

    • ....
    • Bloviatin' Bill
      ....
    • Millmeister Marvin
      ....
    • Diploma-printin' Dave
      ....

    Well, it seems to work as long as I put DOTS in to fill the columns and keep the bullets off the edges.
    Wonder how long THESE bullets will take to disappear.
