I see some are having trouble quoting a thread correctly. You have to really watch what you're doing if you edit down a quote. Each bracket "[ ]" is there for a reason. It's part of the html command to open or close a function, such as color, bold, italics, URL, email. Each open command must have a close command to work, such as

bold = bold[/B ] (spaces before each "]" are intentional for this demonstration to view the html code. There should be no space.)

Red = Red[/COLOR ]

The slash "/" is used to designate the closing of a command.

Many times the codes are nested. Again, each code needs an open and a close.

[B][COLOR=red]bold and Red = [B ][COLOR=red ]bold and Red[/COLOR ][/B ]

Mercury Marauder website (http://www.mercurymarauder.net) = [URL=http://www.mercurymarauder.net ]Mercury Marauder[/URL ]

Mercury Marauder email (mercurymarauder@mercurymaraud er.net) = [EMAIL=mercurymarauder@mercurym arauder.net ]Mercury Marauder email[/EMAIL ]


Just take your time. Remember to "Preview Post" to make sure it works. Pulling quotes does make it easier to follow conversations in long threads.

Class dismissed!!

Most URL's and e-mails are automatically coded, so no real need to add those codes as well. ;)

I flunked. At our next meet you'll have to hold a "class" for those of us that are computer challenged.:)
