There is another new feature on these forums called "warnings". Hopefully you all read the registration agreement and you will be "nice" with your posts here. However if you are not Robert has the option of issuing warnings. These are for violations of the rules of the forums or what he might deem appropriate (like going over the line between constructive criticism and being a "jerk").The warnings last for set time periods then go away. Get one warning & don't let it happen again and in a short while the warning will go away. BUT get a second warning before the first expires and your posts will become "moderated" meaning they will not appear until he manually approves them. Hopefully no one will go past that point but get a third before the others expire and and the forum software will not allow further posts until your warning or "cooling off" period has elapsed. And then there is number 4...hopefully nobody will ever do that but at that point the system will automatically remove you as a user. You may have noticed there is a little "report this post to a moderator" link in the bottom corner of every post. Any user may report another user's post as being a violation of the rules (like if you knew somebody on the "For Sale" forum was really a dealer pretending to be an individual) and then it's up to Robert to take whatever action he feels appropriate. Nothing here to scare anybody. Just keep it clean, "on-topic" and treat others the way you want to be treated and there should be no need for this part of the forum software to be used. But it is there and I wanted to make sure nobody ever said "but I didn't know what would happen if I did this".

No warnings for that, we will wait and see which one you pick before I make a comment ...it was the only one I found with a beard & moustache (and makes me look younger)

Fonz: Either manually place your text inside the "code" boxes or simply highlight (select) the entire text then click the "action" and it will surround it for you. Depending on your choices you may need to do this more than once if the text does not stay "selected". the code always starts with boxes with no "/" like [xxx] and after the text you want changed the same code with the "/" before the "code" like [/xxx] this applies no matter how may "code" boxes there are to get what you want. Your text would appear: WARNING!! WARNING!! WILL ROBINSON!! [/font]
