Hey, I saw a post just now about how to create a "link" in a post, and it reminded me that we've never "officially" introduced the BBCode concept.

What's BBCode, you ask? Well... How the heck would I know? I'm a bearmaker, not a tech wizard (like Quy.) :D

But it has something to do with html, and getting things like colors and links and boldface to work on a message board.

Yeah, you say... but bold is already a separate tool ABOVE the Message window. And yes indeedy, you're right!

However, it's also available to you -- along with instructional "models" about how to create links and lots of other nifty stuff -- if you go to the area BELOW the Message window and click the BBCode:on link.

Go ahead... do it now.

Enjoy!

PS Quy, feel free to jump in here anytime.
PPS Think I'll post this to the Tech area too, just for some double coverage.

Ah ha!
I wondered how you got your text to be different colors in other posts. I just thought "Only Shelli!! She's a tech wizard whether she likes it or not!!!" Or maybe I'm just the Tech Dodo Bird??? HA!!!:lol:

Now I'm gonna go check out that BBCode link I see right there! If all went well what I just typed is PURPLE!! bear_original

The gollies sent me to bed saying I was a Computer Menace

but I think they wanted to get into the ice cream and when I got up just now, sure enough someone had been in kitchen and making a mess, and we all know it wasn't the good little teds. And there is nary a golly to see right now. The rascals are hiding.

Hmmmmm
Thank yu Mis Shelli, Madam help advisor for adding a new dimension to our hijinks and pranks!
