flipflop0: Now I have one other question. Although it's unrelated, since it's also a newbie question, I'll put it here instead of a new thread: why aren't my line breaks (newlines) showing up? I typed the two quotes in the previous comment on a line by themselves, but they don't show up that way. Any idea why?
FYI, I'm using Google Chrome. (FYI again, this should appear on a line by itself with a blank line preceding it.)
Are you using Quick Reple (the one at the bottom of every thread page) or did you first click "reply"-button, then post using a new Reply To an Existing Message -page (with lots of features)?
If you used Reply to an Existing Message-page, can you see many little buttons at the top of your edit-box? The buttons are for editing fonts, underlining, smileys, cutting/pasting etc. If you don't see it, you might be using very stripped down editor (called Plain Text). Go to your profile and then try changing content editor to Standard or Enhanced.
