OKKKK...I have a couple of, I'm supposing very simple questions, but then again, if they were simple, I wouldn't have to ask would I? Is there a way to see the new replies to a thread without closing out of the bulletin board and re-entering? And how do you get the smilies and stuff inside your reply. I know you can click and they're at the very beginning, but in other spots in the email?
Looking at my screen and keyboard confused...

Bama, see new replies by hitting Reload or Refresh on your browser. Or, after you've read a thread, there's a "go" button at the bottom of the page. Click that.
Smilies:
Type colon : and bracket ) together without a space to make
Type : and D to make
: and ( to make
: and p to make
semi-colon ; and ) to make
And those are just a few!
Have fun

Not the wrong part of the board, wrong time of day. Traffic is slow right now. I'm not sure what you're asking about the new replies, but as for the smilies, go to the top of the reply page. Under Forum Rules, it will say Smilies are ON. Click on the word smilies and follow the directions.
There are some basic ones listed on that page or your can follow the link to Crack's smilies for more.

Don't get too cocky now.
First, you're going to notice a lot of animated smilies that aren't on the list in the smilies help link. At the bottom of that page is a link to "Crack's smilies (http://www.geocities.com/r337m0nk3y/) Each smily there has a line of text next to it to cut and paste into your message for the animated smily of your choice. The same syntax is used for pictures. (as long as the picture is somewhere accessible to the net, not on your computer)
Second, you're going to notice that refresh doesn't always clear the "first unread message" arrows for the one's you've already read. (or the new message indicators on the main page) That's because it takes 15 minutes for the board to decide you've gone somewhere else and consider you logged out before it starts a a completely new session.
Just make a note of the date and time stamp of the last message read before hitting refresh.
dutifully shamed, alrighty... It won't happen again (getting cocky that is lol).. was just using my new knowledge
And thanks for more advice
One more question seeing as how I'm on a roll here. How do you get it to quote? I hit quote, and the whole comment came up.. How do you get just certain phrases? Probably going to feel a lil more blond than I did this morning after I first posted this thing when someone tells me

Sorry. It's not you. I have taken a vow never to help somebody on this board again. It can blow up in your face really easily around here. I'm sure someone will come along and help you. I shouldn't have brought it to your thread, though. I'm sorry.
Now, Now Eeyore!
You stop that this instant! *stamping foot* I'll put on my George hat and fuss if you stop helping people!

*grumbling* Well, since you went to all the trouble of digging that up, I guess I can do it just this once. What's a George hat?
Bamarose, when you hit the quote button, the whole post will come up. You then highlight and delete the portions you don't want. You can also type your own text between portions of the previous post. If you do that, use these little thingies: [,b,], and [,/,b,] to set off a quote. Ignore the commas. Ignore the commas, though. This way we can all know exactly what you're quoting.
I would highly recommend that you study the vb codes, though. They're on the same page that you reply to a post.

You're welcome.

The whole story is up top near the link to the smilies help page in the vB code is ON link. It has a reasonably complete list of all of the various formatting "tags" available.
The quick answer, is that once it copies the quoted post into the reply box, you can edit it just as if it were your own words.
If you quote this post, you'll see that in addition to the text you see when reading it, there are a lot of things like QUOTE, /QUOTE, B, /B and other things in square brackets. Those are the "tags" that tell the BB software to dispay the text in a quote block, or make it bold or italic. Tags work like quotation marks in that they need to be paired. i.e. "quote" means "start treating text as a quote from another message", and "/quote" means "stop quote formatting"

No reason to feel blonde. Using tags is the next best thing to building your own web page. Once you get the hang of it, you can cut and paste just the phrases you want in the first place and paste them into a blank reply box, add the appropriate tags and repeat from any nnumber of different messages to consolidate all of your responses into one post. (That's how people wuote from one thread to start another.)

George is Nancy's best female friend. Those books were way, way too long ago to remember why she was named George.
And I'd like to sing *whooo, eee, oooo* and moan about how time consuming and difficult it is to copy the source of a gif and slap it between image tags, but I can't fib.

ok let's see how this works..
Since ya'll were so nice and sweet and all that good stuff and helped me out, thank you again to everyone by the way, allow me to introduce myself. As you can tell from my name, I'm from Alabama. I'm a 22 yr old stay at home mom of a 2 1/2 yr old, and expecting my second. (i think i did this once before in another thread didn't i?) anyway, I've been reading and visiting the bb for a few weeks now, and enjoy reading the posts.
Nice to meet everyone.[Edited by Bamarose on 09-22-2000 at 02:06 PM]
LOL Good try. Here's a little clarification. At the start of something you want to put in bold, like a quote, put this: [,b] ignoring the commas, of course. At the end of the quote, put this: [,/,b,] again, ignoring the commas. I put them in there so that you can see what keystrokes are needed. Do this for each piece that you quote. This way, what you quote will be in bold, and what you write will be in normal text. Hopefully that is a little clearer.
Hey! <bouncing in seat clapping hands while trying to type and looking quite silly while doing so> I did it! hehe It's amazing what finding out how to do things'll do for ya isn't it? LOL
Thank you LOL again. Can ya'll tell I'm a gratefull person?
