| I've not been back except to respond to a private message. I suppose this is my test post here. Can anyone explain the buttons above the typing pane? ('B', 'I', 'U', 'Quote') I know what they mean, but not how to use them on. Sorry if someone's already commented on this question! |

bold italics underline your point
Click on the button you desire and insert your text between the expressions e.g. the b and /b (I had to omit the square brackets that will show up, they need to be there)

| The automatically insert the correct syntax to Bold, Italicize, underline or quote. Just type or paste whatever you want to emphasize in the middle of the syntax after hitting the appropriate button. |

| Well since the only reason I went to VN anyway was to flap gums with the likes of you folks, I had no choice but to join this place. In other news, Kim Kardashian has big butt. |

Hey everyone - thanks for the kind words and you are all very welcome here! I will try to get the username / real name thing sorted this weekend amongst other things.
Thanks again!

| I went back today and read a weird flame about people leaving and "not supporting Velonews". If it's posts they want, they're getting gobs of support from spambots, hardly need actual human beings. If it's actual cycling fans they want (who might be interested in the advertisements they are paid to post) . . . |

I would mostly like to see the moderators stop deleting the spam over there so we can all see how truly bad it is and know for certain the move is justified. (and for those feeling dirty for going back to Velonews, it wasn't the only forum I visit. I'm not sure the word "monogamy" applies to internet based forum relationships...)
(wonder if I can find the Fisher Price figure punk kid image again for my avitar...) |

| Like Gonzo, I just went over there Sunday morning to see what remains, it's all spam but for 3 active posts with the usual gang of miscreants, now able to play in their own personal sandbox. Let's hope they stay there..... |
