Creating a Signature, Setting up Editing for Posts

[Harrison]

All, in case you’ve not already set up your post editor, here are the instructions. This will allow you to have some really cool edit functions….like a spell check!

• Click on User CP (user control panel)
• Setting & Options, Click on Edit Options
• Scroll to the bottom, to miscellaneous options
• See Message Editor Interface , then choose “enhanced interface,” full WYSIWYG editing!

Now you can compose posts with the utmost pleasure, confidence and a plethora of emoticons. But you may have to download a spell check if you use IE; or you can just use FireFox! More emoticons are coming in the next 1-2 weeks.

As you trip across neat little ideas, or problems, please post them to this topic. Thanks!

Here’s a gentle reminder to the community that the guidelines are easily accessed by a persistent link in the top navigation. Today, I had to admonish another member for calling another member an *******. The alleged offending ******* sent me an excerpt of the ******* offense via private message and email. As an admin, owner of this site, non-profit founder – can you imagine how much I enjoy doing this kind of admin stuff on a frequent basis? Seriously?! Not.

The guidelines were written to account for people that do not act politely within the culture of caring communities such as this – one that serves the needs of patients near and far.

So, I’ll date myself with a poetic message. Remember these lyrics from the Young Bloods? Try it on for a while. Geez.

C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
