italics

[ada]

can anyone tell me how to code italics or bold when you post?

[lau]

uh, press the button that hs a B on it for bold and the one with an I on it for italics. But when you press the button you get something like this:  [b b]  this is probably where you get confused. I think you have to type in between the to be boxes to make it bold same with italics let me try:

flap man

and now, let's watch as this thread goes down and down and down in into the endless pit of pianostreet threads

Italics make your words go slant
so when you're posting you can slant your rant
and if you're really feeling bold
you can brighten up your words I'm told

and if your disposition's centered
you can place it over here
by justifying letters
like a printing engineer

Or if you're feeling radical
move your message to the left
so those who are conservative
will feel they've been bereft

You can underline your words
but that's mostly done by nerds
or if you think you've made and error
you can strike it out with terror

Theres so much more that you can ^do
and with that I think I'm _done


Wasn't that Big of me?


Or do I need to have a lot of wives,
to say that this is bigamy?

Thank you.  Yes, it was an entirely spontaneous original poem sparked by this thread.  The only thing I can't lay claim to is the little play on words about bigamy at the end.  I heard a joke about that recently and it just seemed to fit in there naturally at the end for some reason.  I guess I needed something to justify using a BIG word.
