    thank you for taking on a big task like that @cathybird - those emojis are a real motivator but I am sure we will get used to whatever fits for you….


    2/10 today please - I have a work event tonight, they are starting up again after a (for me welcome) 3-year hiatus. We will see what they are like when I don't have an alcoholic drink to hand!

    1/25 please cathybird.

    Aarrgghhh! I am an old dinosaur. Never even touched a computer till 10 years ago,when I was 65,never learned typing or wordprocessing or any such skills,its just been a decade of slow learning,and everytime I get used to things,they change again. Old dogs can very slowly learn to do a few new tricks,but as I say ,slowly!.lol

    This is the closest to the normal common smiley as I can find…..😑

    And how do I make my figures bold?

    Aarrgghh! I thought maybe good old regular commands would work,but OF COURSE not. Why be easy. so now my post looked ridiculous and decidedly odd. Sorry folks. I edited once,then the edit button disappeared and I had to wait a while before it came back

    So how DO you bold,or do italics,or underline? I am going offline to cool off and reduce my bloodpressure.😓

    Yay,managed to get it after reading the post at the top of the page but how do I get it off again🤣

    Not how I intended to spend my morning. Got to go now to wash my hair and have a bath for a doc apptmt later today. Once again that will hopefully reduce my BP from 250 to 130🙄

    2/10 AFDs please @cathybird

    It seems they've given up on the new text editor, at least for the time being. 😁

    3/31 for me inc today please cathybird, thank you (…just wanted to try out typing a message to see if there had been any obvious changes…)

    Has anyone else seen that quoted parts of earlier posts now only display as a link rather than the way it used to do it, ie display the message itself?
