So here's my dummy question. I tried to put the first line in italics ?i...i?. So why doesn't it work on my computer but does on JRH's? It's my special powers <gg> . The reason why is because you need to do: <i >...</i > Now, make sure that the second bracket (>) is right next to the "i". If I put mine right next to the "i", then nothing would show up (because it would be read as an html tag and wouldn't be displayed). If that doesn't work, PM me your email address and I'll give you more explicit directions... Justin Herr Chartmeister / Webmaster <g>

So why doesn't it work on my computer but does on JRH's? Because you are not as smart as JRH, you turkey! When we try to demo it to you, it does away with itself. Let me give it one more try. start the sentence with the 3 symbols together, a "<" followed by an "i" followed by one more ">" (no quotes, of course.) end the sentence with four symbols together. a "<" followed by a "/" followed by a "i" followed by a ">" do the same thing, only with a "b" for bold

Use a right carot to close the command. Look at this message in the message list and you will see the format. You cannot see the format if you open the message.

OFF TOPIC, but highly opinionated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine relying on ... Motley Fool!! Ahem. The Motley Fool taught me every thing I know about stock valuation. I learned more in my first year from the Motley Fool than I had learned in the previous five years. Every once in awhile I send an unabashed note to Tom and David Gardner, now friends of mine, thanking them for that. No investment forum can be everything to everyone. The Motley Fool is no exception. But it isn't as if every thing at Silicon Investor is wonderful, either. As much as this is my all-time favorite folder including those I created myself, there are some terrible folders here at SI also. I still participate in and read parts of the Motley Fool every single business day. I don't have a problem with the rest of the world disagreeing with me, though I have to think at least a smidgeon of the 1,000,000 Motley Fool customers probably agree with me in some small way. But I do have a problem with people implying that because the Motley Fool or any forum isn't good for them, it's gotta be a waste for everyone. End of sermon. :) --Mike Buckley
