The new XMarks look

[Hamish]

Hi Ham,

You get the smilies option by first clicking "Go Advanced" and then waiting for the new edit window. Clicking a smily at the side inserts it as a code. You can see your posting properly displayed by clicking "Preview" before you finally commit to posting it. You can keep re-editing up till then. Same goes if you insert pictures, you can check the result before actually posting for real.

Many thanks for the guideline Jim (it comes to something when a relative Newbie has to show an old lag how to do something! ) ........ However, I see no "Go Advanced" upon which to click, and I believe I have looked everywhere!

The "Preview" facility is not actually new, and I invariably use it to check everything is in order before I post anything.

If the "Peview Post" button is already there, and there is no "Go Advanced" its likeky because your profile is set up for advanced editing as default, in which case ignore that bit

Oh! Many thanks for that, Mr. Bill. Actually, I never look down there as I always use the "Post Reply" or "Quote" buttons.

You may call me a curmudgeon or a scrooge or any other damn thing you like.

I like how this forum works: software upgrades happen and we don't notice a disruption (yay!), we are civil with each other (yay!), and I have learned a hell of a lot in the past few days (double yay!). This is a pretty good group of guys to belong to. My only complaint? Smilies. I can't abide the things. They are just too unbearably cute.

\(^_^)/ Bah.

I mean, here we are asserting that the wearing of the kilt demonstrates our masculinity to ourselves, to women, and to other men. But we use smilies to do it? How manly is that? Is it just me, or do these two facts seem contradictory?

It's a gradual learing curve, but there appear to be quite a few new features, which I'm still exploring. Well done chaps.
