    hit your brackets keys twice again. Insert I inside the first set of brackets and type /I inside second set of brackets.

    My, my, Abner . . . Next thing, you're going to want to know how to change size and color.

    Abner - I guess I'm a little confused. When you post a message or reply to a message do you not get a row of buttons above the text box?
    There is a remove formatting button on the left and then Bold, Italicize, Underline, Color, Size, Insert a link, Insert an image, etc.
    Do you not see those?

    I get a row of buttons on "quick reply", but not in "advanced reply".

    1. You
    2. Can
    3. Also
    4. Make
    5. Bullet
    6. Points

    • Numbered
    • Or
    • Otherwise

    Not to mention, center​

    Align to the left​

    or align to the right​

    There is no justify feature on DegreeInfo, but you can

    That was a cute little pun. :arms: I haven't been posting much over the past year or so, but it's good to know I still got it, eh?

    Weird. In preview mode, there were bullet points with numbers, but I don't see it when I posted the thread.

    @Maniac:

    It works. Here's a sample:

    CROOKS:

    • The Bloviatin' Brothers
    • Sammy Spammer
    • Marvin Mill-meister
    • Diploma-Printing Danny

    You have to get the tags right. Go here BB Code List - DegreeInfo Distance Learning - online degree forum and click on the "list" tag and it's explained.

    Basically, you start with the "list" tag (in square brackets) then each item has to start with an asterisk (also in square brackets) . After the last item, use a /list tag - again in square brackets. Easy. I learned my first markup language (gml - generalized markup language) in the early 80s and they all pretty well work the same.

    OOPS! It did work for a while - honest. Not any more. Sorry!

    This is REALLY weird. The bullets were there when I posted the above - an hour later, they're GONE - looks almost 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. Leaving blanks won't do.
    Wonder how long THESE bullets will take to disappear. .... IT TOOK A WHOLE FIVE MINUTES!....THEY'RE GONE. Then they came back. They'll be gone again! :sad:

    As Steve noted, some features/functions have been disabled. At the same time, some are simply busted.:soapbox:

    From the slight interval before destruction, I think someone from Scotty Hargraves' or maybe Reddington's own team is standing by, with a burner cellphone that triggers the demise of the list-bullets. :sad: Tom Keen? Or the fat tech-guy in the command post - I forget his name. :firedevil:

    I love it when people crossover to the Conspiracy Theory thread. I also love The Blacklist.

    Here's a list that should be ...um, bullet-proof. :smile:

    Some of Johann's Favourite Guitar Players
    . Pierre Bensusan
    . Vadim Kolpakov
    . Lightnin' Hopkins
    . Jesse Cook
    . Stochelo Rosenberg
    . Charlie Byrd
    . Wasso Grünholz
    . T-Bone Walker
    . Habib Koité

    Where there's a will ... there's an estate. This list should "stay put," I think.
