html

Can someone tell me how to enable the html from off to on??

This is what I found in the FAQ file. It looks as though individual users are not able to toggle HTML.

You may be able to use HTML and/or UBB Code in your posts, if your administrators and moderators have those options turned on for each forum.
Some forums may have either HTML or UBB Code turned off, or both turned off. Only your bulletin board's leaders can set this. Every time you post a
new note, you will be told whether UBB Code and/or HTML is enabled for that particular forum. If HTML is on, you may use any HTML tags, but please
be very careful that you use proper HTML syntax. If you do not, your moderator or administrator may have to edit your post. UBB Code is similar to
HTML, but offers just a few basic functions, such as hyperlinking, image display, bolding and italicizing.

I tried in my "two ten out of ten" comment to bold the recipes, but it didn't work. Can you tell me what I did wrong so I can edit?

To make something bold on this bulletin board, you have to put a B between [ and ] right before the words you want to bold. Then after your bold words, you do the same thing but you put /B in between the [ and ]. Make sense? I have to type it that way because if I type it the actual way, you won't be able to see it - it will turn my words bold instead!

Hope that helped!

I will type it with spaces in between so you can see the configuration and hpefully it will show up and not actually work:

[_B_]_words you want to make bold here_[_/B_]

So, you do it like above, but you leave out the places where I have put an underlined space and you write them all together. I hope that makes sense to someone other than me!

I just checked your 10 out of 10 post and it looks like you got it right after all. Maybe you figured it out before any one had the chance to respond here! Well, I hope this explanation helps someone else out who maybe did not know how to do it.

By the way, you can use an I intead of a B and that will make your words italic!

Eloise,
Thanks for taking the time to give the very helpful and easy-to-understand "bold" & "italics" lesson! I WONDERED how to do that!
