[Part Solved] New topic - Reply Help - Forum - Whats the smiley face for?
-
Hi everyone it’s the village idiot here again and I’m looking for a guide on the reply/topic section. Now don’t laugh, well alright then go ahead, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. I can wheelie a bike at 150 miles an hour, or mow the lawn, or even better fry an egg. And I am not afraid to show one of my weaknesses for all to see. At the end of the day nobody, knows everything about everything.
So here goes; when starting a reply or new topic, you get those icon’s above the box you type in, let’s start with the first one: Bold when you press it you get [b] [b] then when you type between them the writing is the same it doesn’t go Bold? Then you move along to: Font Face/ Size or Colour and still no change. I must be missing something here. Then if you press Marquee, move comes up WTF, and what the hell is Glow used for? and what does that do? And as for those smiley faces, I once put one the end of my text and to my shock and horror all my text disappeared, I’m not falling for that one again.
Now I am certain between all the laughter/sorrow/shock out there, there will be some who don’t know how ALL the icons work. Can some computer expert out there help me to improve one of my many weaknesses? Thanks.PS: I will be watching the Replies and Views with interest. YOU ARE NOW VIEWING, DO YOU DARE LEAVE WITHOUT A REPLY and look an IDIOT like ME. (Smiley face)

Here’s a good explanation to what is going on each time you press one of those little buttons…

The above is from a different version of the software than that used here to run this forum but the principals are the same.
Have fun
