I’m just messing with things…

[;)]

Other thing that I have notices is that the edit button comes and goes. originally thought that it only disappeared after the first edit – no second chance. However when I posted yesterday it wasn’t there at all!
Would be nice to be able to set Bold as a default but if you hit the button twice and then type between the middle arrows everything typed is bold or “strong” as they call it.
Also seems that the only one of the buttons that identifies itself when the mouse is hovered over it is the last “close tags” , no idea what uf, ol and li are at all!
If there was a preview post option it would be easier to experiment without the risk of sending a load of garbage.

The ‘b’ is for bold and will make text BOLD.

———

i is for italics
———

link is for putting in an outside web link (brings up a pop-up window)

To put in a link either copy and paste from the source OR

type the text you want into the reply box, highlight with the mouse, then click ‘list’ and type in the link address and title.
———

b-quote defines that an item has been quoted from another source.
———

del is a deleted text tag (strike through as Charlie says)

———

img gives a link to an outside image source such as a photo hosted on another server such as Photobucket, Flikr etc. (brings up a pop-up window)

———

ul is unordered list without numbering the items

Coffee
Tea
Milk

———

ol is ordered list and numbers the items in the list 1,2,3, etc.

An ordered list:

1. Coffee
2. Tea
3. Milk

———

li is list like bullet points (used with ul)

• Coffee
• Tea
• Milk

———

code inputs code but not used here
———

closed tags will close all open tags such as bold, italics etc.
———

Using the link button enables you to post a link like the one Alan has in his second post on here eg

test link
