font size and weird codes

[Caribbean Lady]

Hi!

2 things...

1) When posting a quick reply, how do I change my font size? Sometimes I want it to be bigger!!!

2) Recently, when I'm on the threads, it shows little codes for size, italics, bold (etc.) How do I make those go away!?!?! They're really starting to bug me...

You can change font size by selecting a size from the drop-down list just above the box in which you type your message. If you select it before you start to type, it will stay that size till you change it again. If you just want to change the size on a few words or letters, highlight the text to be changed, and select a size from the drop-down box. I advise previewing your changes before sending. You don't want to be a page hog with your message.

I'm a little stumped by your second question. Check your preferences to see how your threads are viewed. It could be that you have something other than standard view selected.

Mini V took care of the first question and I think I can help you with the second one. If you go to your user CP and on the left side you will see "edit options" , click on that and go all the way down to the bottom to where it says "Miscellaneous Options " in the drop down box it is probably on "standard editor" now just switch that to "Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG editing". That should stop all the codes showing. Let me know if it works

See the problem is, above my quick reply window... there is so text size box. That's my problem! and thanks, the weird codes aren't happening now - it must just have been on my friend's computer! Thanks!

Try using "Post Reply" in the purble box instead of the quick reply.
