It's as clear as mud as to how formatting and smiles are added in this forum!!!
Nope, still can't find fonts, hyperlinks, smilies, etc.

this a quick reply
This isn't (but still no formatting!)
Try activating the advanced editor in your options
I can't find the colour though
How about this? Well that seems to work!
You need to put the tags in by hand like this (color=green) but using square braces (/color)
As the last post states you will have to activate the advanced editor on your account, simply go to:
Quick Links >> Edit Options >> Miscellaneous Options >> Message Editor Interface (at the bottom of the page).
Select - Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing.
That will enable the menu with formatting options to be visible to you when creating or replying to posts.
To change the colour you will see a drop down list just after the ones for Font and Size, it looks like thiswith a black bar under it. you can use that to change text colours. Smilies are found in the drop down list next to that one.

"I Cache, therefore I am"
Thanks Guys : cheers :- That's fixed it for me. I'm surprised this isn't on as a default for luddites like me!
Happy caching
Robin
Me too, but I've just been through the Admin settings, and I'm afraid there doesn't seem to be any way to change that default.FollowMeChaps wrote:

Bill - you need to go into:
vBulletin Options >> Message posting interface Options >> Enable Clickable Message Formatting Controls.
You can then set the following:
For the Full Editor - Enable Standard & WYSIWYG Controls
For the Quick Reply - Enable Standard Controls
For the Quick Edit - Enable Standard Controls
You can then go into the Maintenance >> Execute MySQL Query >> Automatic Query
Select - Show Enhanced (WYSIWYG) Editor Toolbar
Run the query by clicking continue and it will update everyones profiles to show the WYSIWYG editor by default.
That should change it.![]()

"I Cache, therefore I am"
Ian, thanks for that! :cheers:
That's done, with some help from Stuart as I hit a permissions problem in Maintenance.
I'd changed my default to Basic, and on reloading the page I got wysiwyg, so hopefully that's working for everyone now.

Wow, I make a half suggestion on a testing page and it gets actioned - well done everyone.
Now why doesn't my avatar show for me?![]()
FollowMeChaps, I've just taken a look at your account.
Your pic is showing as your profile pic (to appear on your profile page), but you haven't got a pic showing as an avatar.
Go to your control panel from the User CP link near the top left of most (all?) pages.
Choose Edit Avatar from the menu on the left.
Check the radio button in the Custom Avatar section.
Choose Browse in Option 2 and select your avatar.
Click the Save Changes button at the bottom.
Your avatar should then be showing. Any problems with that then let me know and I'll take another look.

Yep, looks like it![]()
