Look around the screen for the blue link that says "vB code" and click it.

It will take you to a help screen.

Specifically, to do bold,

you put [] with a b between the brackets at the front of what you want bolded, and then you end that with [] and a /b between the brackets to turn bolding off.

Comes out looking like this:

Gotta love that coding!

Ed, I'm glad you added that last post. I just opened this thread for the first time and see your question followed by a big bold MOLON LABE. I was thinking, "Ed's been around here for a long time, I don't remember him trying to pull such an obvious joke before."

Ed,

I didn't know it would update ALL of your previous message signatures.

I know this system is dynamic, but I didn't know it's THAT dynamic.

All of the settings in your user profile are dynamic. That is, once you change your email, for instance, all previous posts will show the new email addy.

This is part of the reason vB requires half the space of the old UBB. It creates HTML on the fly, as opposed to UBB where all raw data remained in one file and a second was created and stored in HTML. The UBB file structure, being flat, is not capable of allowing so many operations (eg: checking each Member profile when a thread is loaded). So it hard coded lots of stuff that didn't need to be hard coded.
