Dear Grant,

You can also insert stuff in a quote, thus:

Dear Susan,

For you anything, how are doing navigating this forum.

Does the fact that you can increase fonts or change colours help.

Hi I used to post on the BBC boards. Was in a big debate with Blue a few months ago which I meant to continue then my Mum became ill and subsequently died giving me other priorities. I logged in to the BBC boards on the last day it was open with 10 mins to go and no idea it was shutting down - wot a shocker! Anyway hi all I'm a broad non-traditional theist with pantheist leanings, although that depends a bit on definitions...

I don't draw from one particualar tradition - culturally christian background with a big respect for buddhism, i tend to mostly but not exclusivelty celebrate my spirituality through neo-paganism.

Regards

Hi, D.T.
Glad to hear you've found us. I haven't spoken to you on CTMB - I hope that's going to change.

Sorry about your mum. I lost mine eighteen months ago. Words are never enough, but hope you find peace.
Jim.

Thank you! Ive got the hang of it mostly, I think.  I'l try and work out this weekend how to put my picture of tap-shoed feet avatar, but I might leave that until my computer tutor is here next. (He was here yesterday and took a new photo for my web site!)

Actually, no, because Dolphin advised me right from the start that it is better to have IE set to 'ignore colours and fonts'. I have the magnification on nearly all the time and on my screen there is an area of about one-twelfth of the total window. Voice on all the time of course.
What is the background colour of the screen for you?

Not only that, but you can display an image from anywhere on the Internet by getting it's direct address, clicking on the Image Insert button and pasting that address between the [ img ] tags that appear...

Et voila...


...and this one's just for you...

Hi, Susan,
I've set Guide to a background dark red, with yellow letters.
I'm starting to get the hang of it as well - at least my throat isn't as sore with shouting!

Hi Dryden's - nice to hear from you again, and I'm sorry to hear about your Mum.

I can't actually remember what our conversation was about, but I do remember enjoying the exchange. By all means re-start it here if you wish and I'll be happy to engage.

All best.

Hi Blue - good to see you! I'm so pleased that so many people from the BBC board his migrated here. Lol I'll have to have a look although I imagine that all the issues will come up again - probably best to let it start up again naturally which it surely will in the course of some discussion and we can pick it up from there rather than having to reread all of that. Anyway talk soon im sure :D

Wow, Gonn, one of the great religious paintings, and it's in Glasgow, isn't it?  I think it cost them ?8000, now worth ?60 million!  Quite unusual style for Dali, not so surreal.
They were the footprints of a gigantic hound!

Dear Wigs,

Morning full member, yes it is a very beautiful painting, on so many levels, anyone who visits the Kelvingrove art museum stands and stares at this painting for ages, when I look at it I always think, what kind of mind, what was he thinking about, was he on drugs, or was he in fact filled with the Holy spirit.

Hi, Gonagle.
Of all portraits, "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" is thegreatest, IMHO.
What gets me is the lack of nails.
He chose the Cross!
Thanks, Gonagle

Dear Susan,

This new forum, kid in a sweetie shop, guilty as charged your honour. ;D

I could never do the painting justice, I agree with Jim, for me it is Glasgows most famous and beautiful work of art.

Some info for you from wiki.

Q: When you are looking at a thread with quotes and nested quotes, is there any difference in the font or colour between the quoted partsand the answers? It's quite tricky to work out, especially as, as far as I can se, the last quote before the answer is not indented - or rather the answer is not further to the left. It's not really a problem as such, and I can sort it out, but it would be interesting to know.

In Gonnagle's post above yours,  the nested quote is in a pale blue box and the reply box surrounding it is a slightly darker blue and beneath it is his reply to you in standard colours.
