Hi I am new to this site, and have a couple of questions.
When I try to add colour and font size the message comes up error, and that I must put message in postl, which I have tried to do twice now.
Also I asked in my profile to only use my screen name, but my full name is coming up, can you tell me why please?

Welcome, Barbara! I can't help you with the screen name question - AF Dude will be the one who have that info I think. As for changing the font size, style, color - I know how to do the fond and size, but have not tried the color. To change font style, just above the message box you will see a drop down menu "Fonts" - scroll to whatever font you want (this is Comic Sans MS) and select it. Next scroll down the "Size" menu to whatever you want (this is 3). After you have done that, you will notice your cursor blinking between the bracketed size=3 and bracketed /size. Start typing where the cursor is blinking. When you do a "Preview" of your post, you will see that the style and size markings have been eliminated. The color thing is something you can find in the IFCode, but you have to have codes for different colors. AFDude has those. Good luck!

Also, you will probably get more responses to questions you ask on the RA forum instead of here in the general. I only checked for this because of comments you left on Coney Island Baby's post about lack of responses. I want everyone to feel welcome here because I think it is such a great forum!

I had the same problem and finally I found that just typing between the two sets of code will not be posted, but you have to add something outside of the sets of code. After I have typed my message I go past the final code and hit enter and the message will then post for me. Unfortunately this board doesn't seem to work the same for everyone. I hope this helps, and if you go to the bottom of the page there is a link to AFDude from which you can leave him a message to get real help. God bless.

Age 82, diagnosed RA 12/2001, married since 1952, 4 sons no daughters, 4 grandsons 1 granddaughter.  Doing well on Methotrexate and Remicade.
