so if i understand this thread correctly i have to manually type in the codes to get my deisred action. in other words one has to be computer literate to post here?
i am used to having buttons do all the work as i am not computer literate, is there a way to get the button functions? or am i stuck?

i tired those but i messed up i guess. my question remains unanswered--do i have to manually type in the codes or what? just putting in a post the codes without saying if one copies and pastes, hits a button or manually types means you did not communicate clearly enough.

Yes.
thank you. i think i have a handle on how to do quotes now to move on to the bold and italics portion of the codes. i prefer buttons myself, a lot more convenient and less time consuming.

That's because this board runs on different software than those other boards. The software this board runs on is written entirely by Percy/Admin. Like he said, there will be buttons at a certain point in the future, but no time is set.
no worries. it is awkward system but i am learning and getting used to the format.
oh by the way, for the most part i am enjoying some of the discussions i am having. it would be nice if some of the posters would tone done their demeanor and refrain from resorting to the negative when they respond to me.
