I hate to sound stupid, but can anyone tell me how to post my spending in on a red font. I've never done this before... It's quite daunting. Much appreciated!sealed pot member 100. Saving for a dream holiday for 6!!:laugh:

Hi Holly, welcome to MSE
What you need to do is click on the 'post reply' buttom at the bottom of this page.
Then a box comes up for you to write in.
Write your message in this box.
Then, to change the size of a word/sentence, highlight it.
Then, just at the top of that text box is the word 'sizes', and next to that is a little down arrow. Click on that down arrow and the differnt sizes will come up (sizes 1-6).
To change the colour- Next to the word 'sizes', there is an 'A' with a thick line underneath it. Next to that 'A' is a little down arrow, click on that and lots of different colours come up. Just click on the colour you want
Hope that makes sense!0 -
Hi WantToBeSE
Thank you. I obviously need a bit of guidance!! Very excited to be using red. I can start to look like a pro!! I think it's the iPad too. Not very familiar at using it. :eek:sealed pot member 100. Saving for a dream holiday for 6!!:laugh:

Wants to be - the font colour instructions are not working properly in the last couple of days. There are lots of examples throughout the forum where the formatting instructions show but not the actual coloured text. Very odd, but typically the kind of glitch which occurs over the festivities when the techies are having a break!Solar Suntellite 250 x16 4kW Afore 3600TL dual 2KW E 2KW W no shade, DN15 March 14

Will have to go to SM tomorrow as we're running out of milk and bread. On a positive note, I've printed my Asda Price Guarantee vouchers for my last 4 shops, and I am the proud owner of...ta dah! £17.80 in vouchers :T I think I should have enough to pay for bread and milk, eh? and maybe even a little treat? Or maybe I should start my diet and buy some lovely fresh fruit & veg Then I can turn all the bendy veg into soup 2026 Fashion on the ration

Will be watching with interest to see if you achieve this. If there was only me I would be joining in especially this month but I can forsee a riot happening if I tried it with my lot. Good luck Gracie.
