Okay, I'm not the swiftest, but here goes:  your bold did not work because you have a backslash (\) instead of "/".  Notice the first part worked by not being visible.  When you are typing a post, click on the red word "board code" to get the keys to everything.  Basically, the commands start with brackets and end with a brackets containing a "/" in front of the code.  [i][b][red]Good luck.[/red][/b][/i]

Bravo, now I need a little help with a speeding ticket.  How do you . . .?  Hehe!  [;D]

I replaced some of the "[" with "{" to make them visible.  They disappear and do the desired command when done properly.  I will try to get the smileys next.

[b]OKAY, AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY COMMAND I HAVE REPLACED THE BRACKET ([) WITH A "{" SO THAT THEY WILL SHOW UP.  YOU MUST PUT ALL COMMANDS INSIDE OF BRACKETS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK.  GOOD LUCK!  [/B]

SMILIES:

You've probably seen others use smilies before in email messages or other bulletin board posts. Smilies are keyboard characters used to convey an emotion, such as a smile  or a frown .

[B]OKAY, 95THFOOT, YOU BETTER APPRECIATE THIS.  I HAVE DONE THE SAME WITH THE "GOOD STUFF."  COPY SO YOU HAVE IT.  REMEMBER TO REPLACE THE "{" WITH A "[" ON THE FRONT OF EACH COMMAND.  IT IS EASY ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF IT.  NOW YOU HAVE ALL THE SECRETS!!  LOL.  [/B]
