To Boldly Go, Man?

48 posts in this topic

I understand the need for bolding text, but when you quote someone the big bold letters completely disappear. :ohnoez:

 

But there are some funny square brackety things there though. hm

I clicked quote :shrug:

Underneath the place where You write stuff is a little button, and in it it says "using UBBCode" if you push it, a drop down menu drops down, and you'll see things like "using HTML", or "using HTML and UBBCode" etc, it's important to have the one that says HTML selected so that when people use the little brackety thing... they work. So if You click quote, and don't select HTML, then my writting will not be in bold, and you will see the brackets, but if You do selct HTML, then my text should be in bold, and you should see no brackets.

 

Now somebody quote me!

I suppose I should have made myself clear from the beginning. I know exactly how UBB and HTML works, I was just trying to see things Darth Ominus' way.

It all depends on how you do your bold.

Does my bold type really bother some people that much? :grin:

I suppose I could use italics to illustrate my intended inflections. Seriously though, I just thought it made the text easier on the eyes (shrug)

Now I know why my ears were burning in the middle of the night.
