Who is posting this ?

[Gcart]

There is a silly post on many items

BIOU ? or some such thing. Does anyone know who or what it is ?

[RedApple Administrator]

Gcart, I have no idea what you're asking about! Can you explain more, and maybe give us a link to an example?

When you are composing a reply, or posting a new post, along the bottom are the characters:

B I U @ 😀

In fact, even the blank box for making a reply shows them (under the words Add a comment here ...)

If you start typing a reply and want a word to be in BOLD, select the word, then click on B.

If you start typing a reply and want a word to be in italics, select the word, then click on I.

If you start typing a reply and want a word to be underlined, select the word, then click on U.

If you start typing a reply and want to call out to another member, click on @ and start typing the member's name. When you can see their name in full, click on that..

Gcart

If you start typing a reply and want to insert an emoji character, click on the blue smiley face. That will then show all the possible emoji characters in a little window where you can select one!

I use the word "click" but if you are using a touch-sensitive device such as a phone, you can just use your finger. I think making the same approach work on phones and PCs is a major reason for the change.

New toy box for Christmas👍💃

[RedApple Administrator in reply to tattybogle]

I know, it's been a long time coming! But the best things in life are worth waiting for (apparently, so I was told when I was a kid!)

[tattybogle in reply to RedApple]

It's great, previously i've only got to do bold or underlining by accident when the cat walked across the keyboard, now i can do it on purpose

[RedApple Administrator in reply to tattybogle]

Your cat is more helpful than mine. Mine's more likely to shut my laptop down than help with my formatting 🐈😹

[tattybogle in reply to RedApple]

Not totally helpful ... usually manages to invert the screen at the same time, takes me hours to figure out how to put it back , and then i forget how i did it

[fuchsia-pink in reply to tattybogle]

if you mean the tabs lurch over to one side, or go upside down on a laptop, you can make them go the right way up again by pressing control-alt-up arrow all together

[tattybogle in reply to fuchsia-pink]

Ah , thankyou. your tip is so much easier than trying to understand the help page with the laptop held upside down and the mouse arrow going in the opposite direction to my finger.

[Gcart in reply to helvella]

Oh I see 😀

[Lora7again]

I find this a lot easier than using my own

Where is Father Christmas I can't find him? 🎅

Jeez , i knew the British Courts and justice system was in trouble, but i'd no idea it was that bad.Nice Work with the wordy shapy thingy .

[helvella Administrator in reply to tattybogle]

Pedant time!

We do not, in general, have British Courts!

Scotland, England and Wales and Northern Ireland have their own systems.
