Formatting 'macros'
« on: September 10, 2015, 03:22:05 PM »
As I mentioned in a post earlier today, I am currently having to use the new Microsoft Edge system, and for some reason it doesn't appear to support the formatting mechanisms of the board.  This means, for instance, that I can't simply highlight a passage and press the "quote" button and have the passage shown as a quote; I can't highlight a word of passage and underline it by simply pressing the 'underline' button.

Is there anywhere a list of these macros that I can print out and have available to copy?
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

Lists of what is needed and a search engine to find your nearest collector (scroll to bottom for latter) are here:  http://www.twam.uk/donate-tools

The board uses a system called UBB code.

Thanks for that, Jeremy.  I knew what it wasn't, just not what it was!!
