I can try.Click the button for the tag you want to use.In this case I will use "B"for bold.{B} with { used for [{b} help then click the "close all tags"underlined text this will close all open tags.{b}help{/b} will look like this in preview or when you post it help For color select the color you want from the drop down menu type your text then "close all tags" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
