I am not a techie, but I will try to do this with the help you have given me!
I am using an IPAD does this work the same way???

It works the same way with an iPad as with a Mac or a PC, put < i > before to start a run of italics, and < /i > after to end it, but without the spaces before and after the 'i' and the '/i.' Likewise, with 'u' instead of 'i' for underlined text, 'b' instead for boldfaced text and 's' instead for strikethru text.

The results, when entered correctly, show up in your FR Preview box when you are composing your reply. So you can see you have it right before hitting the 'Post' button. However, although these html tag tricks (slightly more complicated ones let you post links and images) work from all platforms I will admit editing to produce the needed text is more of a pain on an iPad than on a real computer. The newest versions of iOS have improved that somewhat, but it's still a pain.
