When you reply, highlight the  text that you want to change, and go the the BBC tags above the reply box, they are blue.  The seventh across on the top line is the one you want.  It moves..........click it and your highlighted text should have brackets around it.  example:

highlighted text
then preview or send the post

highlighted text [/color][/size]

you can change colour, size etc

Hi

Ah, I've just realized what you mean!

The Marquee tool!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I've only just discovered it.

On the top row of blue "Tags" above, if you hover over it, it says Marquee, and if you look carefully, the little figure on the button moves.

Hilite what you want to move and click the button.

[You won't see it move until it's posted though].I made it glow with one of the other buttons first.  If you do anything like colour, do marquee last and hilite all the html as well.

Sounds exciting.  The only Smiley I know was maths activities!

Best wishes

Just re-registered AGAIN and it still won't let me in.  Perhaps it is something to do with the way my PC is set up?  I have also tried on my laptop and using different email addressess but no joy there either.

Maggie, just log on with your email address, the username is 'virtual' and the password is 'books'  -  should work.

Maggie

it's done the same to me, and I've been on loads.  Maybe they've got a problem and you've just been unlucky, or maybe theyir demand's gone too high and they've no other message in place for coping with it.

Last night though, it worked from the link - and maybe peoples' favourites that were working better than mine, but not my email.
