Easy? Not really and it’s worthless knowledge for most people used only on this last antiquated forum or maybe the dark web. I’m all over the Interweb and this is the only forum I have visited in years, maybe 15 or even 20 years, that expects the user to learn html. Now if you can use it in your workplace or other areas of your personal life, good on ya, but for 99% of us; it’s worthless clutter.

I love FR but it needs a long overdue very minor upgrade to its posting page code. Very basic. Very simple. Want to learn html? Knock yourself out and have fun. Expecting regular, non nerdy people, to learn it use a basic (the most basic on the web) forum simply makes no sense. There’s simply no way to justify it.

This is NOT a personal dig on anyone; just a blanket statement that needs to be said.

No one here needs to know HTML at all to post here. But if learning a few basic HTML strings to post a pic or a URL link is too much then, by all means, use an automated tool. Personally, I use the Firefox "BBCode" extension to paste in the few HTML strings I use.

I wasn't trying to be snarky. I was only agreeing with 'canalabamian'. Sorry if it came off otherwise.
