ROON Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Don It was that man that was a spy .... I can't remember his name 8-) but all the young lads for years later used to put their coats over their shoulders with the collars up and have a magnifying glass..... in the playground.... and then they progressed to burning bits of things with it using the sun's rays. Come on Mick.... this is right up your street. Who was he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you thinking of getting bold then Joy ? ;-) Seeing as Malc's playing hard-ball, I'll tell you Joy To get bold text, or italic, or underlined you put in the relevant code as detailed below - but omit the space between the relevant letter and ] as I've just added this to show you the code. Bold, put in [b ][/b] before the first word and [/b ][/b] after the word(s) Underline, put in [u ][/b] before the first word(s) and [/u ][/b] after the word Italic, put in [i ][/b] before the first word and [/i ][/b] after the word(s) You can also do a combination of all of them if you wish by putting all the first parts in, then the text, then the last parts so you get: Bold italic underline :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordThornber Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well Malc, remember where you heard it first then.. By the way they're suing each other, (and The BBC), for distress & chronic injury to feelings for not using real names, I mean, Snowey & Jock, how insulting can you get, names from the dark ages if you ask me.

Mel B Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 You need to alter one of the settings in your Control panel to allow you to use colour (you can also do bold, underline etc this way as well). Go to your Control Panel and look down the list of options until you come to: Use rich edit box when composing messages? Change it to say 'Yes' and then press the 'Submit' button further down, your new viewing etc settings will then change and when you next reply to a posting you can alter the font colour, style, size, type (ie bold etc), add symbols, whatever you want. The downside is that if you want to use smilies you need to know the code to do so as they are no longer on the left for you to simply click on. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If as you say you have had bad experiences in the past stay as you are "Queen of the castle" nowt to stop you having male friends, evenings out, the odd fling etc and it is surprising how many women will envy your freedom and independence. When I was of the divorced status I used to manage a singles club and some of the tales told to me were horrendous, to be happy and content in your single status is something you cannot buy, it usually comes after a lot of pain and hardship, stick with it kid, you're on the right track. I know, been there, seen it, done it, read the book and starred in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
