Using bold or italics in you posts adds emphasis when needed. Likewise pictures and 'live' web site links give your post that extra ooomph!

Here's how it's done:

Bold Italic Underline are very easy, just write out your sentence and then select whatever word or part of it you want to emphasise with your mouse left click and then, when it's selected simply click on the button above.

This method is also used to embed pictures. Firstly the picture you want to embed must have a web location (if it's on your PC it has to be downloaded to a web site first). Once you've located your picture, right click it and go to 'Copy Picture Location' in Mozilla or 'Properties' in IE and copy the location.

Then just paste it into your post . . .

select it as above and then click on Img . . .

Links to web sites are done in exactly the same way . . .

Copy and paste the url:
http://www.backgammon-biba.co.uk/frames.html

select it and then click on Url . . .
http://www.backgammon-biba.co.uk/frames.html

Finally, have a go with the various buttons and experiment. Soon it'll all become second nature. If you see any of Jeremy's posts with pictures in then you'll know it's easy to do :wink:

I'm too scared to try again !

Does the full image appear on the preview ? :( :(

Yes, the Preview shows everything as it'll be when submitted.

See, you can even keep selecting and add formatting on top of formatting!

Go on, try it :)

Be careful Michael, I may agree, but apparantly the majority don't ! :(

Since when I have cared what the majority think? :P

They have their opinion . . . I have mine. :)

I see you're into the swing of it, now! :D

Is it possible to copy attachments, as in passing on an email ?

No Jackie, I don't think that's possible. You'll have to use email :)
