Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I'm doing something wrong trying to use
. B bold . I italics
" works for me.
Anyone else have this issue? It's not a problem. I try not too put everything in " because it makes the post longer.
I presume you're using the buttons above the comment box.
For bold you have to put the text in between the four asterisks, in other words, two asterisks in front and two at the end:
** text goes here, remove spaces **
text goes here
For italics, same thing, in between the two stars, one in front, one at the end:
text goes here
Also, backquotes, one before one after, (or an indent), will get you a text box:
` text with backquotes, remove spaces `
text with backquotes
Hope this helped!
WOW
thanks for the instructions
Silly me I thought clicking on above buttons was one click
🤞🏼hope it worked.
Edit: Well at least I figured out green font. Will try again on another post
YW, for being technologically-challenged I don't do too bad! 😄
