If I don't know how to do italics in here, can someone with more computer smarts, please explain it to me???

I didn't realize there was for format for posting in here. Where is it posted that there is a format??

I do not believe there is a necessary format.

If true, BJungNan can post the URL for the "FR Stylebook" look on this thread.

I am waiting...

There is no official "format" -- it's just agreed upon that it's the best way to post. You don't want to have to go through a large thread figuring out what someone said 100 posts ago; when you include it in your reply, you give the reader the proper context.

It's just being polite.

An easy way to do it is through Outlook Express, like you're writing an e-mail. Make sure it's set on Times New Roman 12, and under File-Edit-View check the "Source Edit" entry.

Bold, italicize and underline what you want just like you would in Microsoft Word, and then click on the "Source" tab on the bottom. Copy and paste that into your "Your Reply" box and -- voila!

Now that I know how to do it without Outlook Express, it's much faster to just do everything directly in the "Your Reply" box.

By the way, the Outlook Express way of doing it helps you learn the HTML code.  Just look at it and you'll notice what needs to be done to make certain things look the way they do.  It helps you to write in color or helps you to post a picture quickly:
