@TheSapphireMoon Yep. You have to do the things he tells you to. If he gives you links, click on and read them. If he asks you to do a task, like click on the bookmark symbol, you have to do so in order for him to give you the next lesson.

Oh my god!!! The website remembers when you’re typing an answer but you don’t post it and you go look at other things (and I mean, you close the browser). Then when you come back to the topic it shows your reply you already typed! How cool is that!!!

yes, i tend to open up second and third windows. and i was looking for a previous post, and it followed me into the other windows.
I DID learn, though. Say I open up the message in window 1. and it follows me to 2 and 3. When I post it in either 2 or 3, when I go back to 1, it’s still there? So you can cancel and abandon that message (in tab 1).
[I was worried it would either delete the post from tab 2, or it wouldn’t have posted because it was originally opened in tab 1.]

I cannot count how many times I accidentally closed tabs of drafts over the years and lost them on Cster. Soooo many times. So many curse words mumbled in my head.

strike through
bold

I’m testing out some coding. I know there are buttons for b & i.
Are there any more of these <> </> that I’ve missed? I think organized and unorganized lists work too.

imera made a table using this info HTML Tables
I think other but not all html tags will work.
underline
header1
header2
Edit: like Underline didn’t work
- A lot of things changed with HTML5
Good point
it looks like you can use small & big for text:
small text!
<small>small text!</small>
big text
<big>big text!</big>

& ordered/unordered lists (ul, ol, li) work, but it might be easier to just use numbers or asterisks.
numbered list (starting from any number):
1. first thing
2. second thing
list:
* first thing
* second thing
& you can nest lists (using spaces before your number or asterisk):
- pets
- cat
- dog
(many dog)- german shepherd
- golden retriever
- food
- pizza
- sushi
code:
* pets
(2 spaces)1. cat
(2 spaces)2. dog
(2 spaces)(many dog)
(5 spaces)* german shepherd
(5 spaces)* golden retriever
* food
(2 spaces)* pizza
(2 spaces)* sushi
~
you can make tables:
| first header | second header |
|---|---|
| content 1 | content 2 |
| content 1 | content 2 |
code:
| first header | second header |
| --- | --- |
| content 1 | content 2 |
| content 1 | content 2 |

Ah, cool. I thought that was a list, not a table. Groovy. I tried out underline too, it just moved over to the right in the preview panel (I used ul, did you just try u?)
- underline
What’s the trick for posting gifs? Just post the link? Let me try

Oh! How did you do strike through?
@jellybean how did you get the text to show up without it formatting? I can’t show @grenouille78 how to do the strike-through because when I type it, the symbols disappear, lol.
