That TO: area on top (above YOUR REPLY) will have the name of the poster you have replied to. You can put any valid screenname or combination of names, seperated by commas, you want. You can even use ALL as a name.
When you log into FR, just pick the MY COMMENTS and it will show all posts recently posted to/by YOU. You will see a recent post on it if there is a new thread and we pinged you. Kinda cool, huh!
When you reply to any post, down below you is the text of the POST you are replying to. CUT AND PASTE IT. To have it in ITALICS, just put "<" and "I" and ">" at the beginning (leave off double ticks) and "<" "/I" and ">" at the end .
Put them together, I can't here as they won't show on the screen if I do.
Same thing to start a new paragraph, using P instead of I. To BOLD use B, to Underline use U. The "/" infront of I or B or U turns it off. These are all explained in HTML bootcamp. Do a search for that thread on FR and all will be explained. The ones I showed you above are just the beginning ones. Tip of the iceberg so to speak.
