When you're writing a post, you can make the html tags in it visible by pressing the 'html' button (the rightmost one above the reply box). This is particularly helpful if you want to put a "reply" quote at the start of your post. When you press the "reply" button immediately below a post you want to respond to, the board brings up a box with the post's text in a blockquote (at the bottom of the box). If you bring up the html, you can place your own text after the quote by placing it after the /blockquote instruction.
I sometimes write my posts in Word and then transfer them across. This can result in unwanted formatting effects, so when I do this, I switch to html format and cut out the chaff I don't want.
You need to be a member of Captain Comics to add comments!

In addition to the "following" option, the first casualty was to be alerted to brand new threads. That stopped working a long time ago. Since I have confirmed that the "Forum" tells me both things, I will be unfollowing the threads I previously requested, which will stop the emails.
I registered with a now rarely-used email, and hadn't checked for a little while.
Yep, we're back to receiving alerts.
Here's an error response I have never seen before:
"You have exceeded the maximum number of posts allowed, and you cannot post a new comment right now. Please try again in a few hours."
Geez... have I really been posting that much?
Never seen that one.
We were planning an intervention...
Is anyone else having trouble seeing images on the board? For the past few days, I've been seeing mostly blank spaces where pictures should be. There are a few pictures that are still there, but mostly they don't appear for me. Which makes the Comics Cover of the Day thread particularly weird.
No, not having discernible issues here.
Thanks, Luis. Probably sometething local then. Hmmm.
Browsing Data: Rob, it's possible that your internet browser (regardless of which one) is clogged up with copies of images and/or entire pages. This was done to "help you" in the old days. Each time you try to look at that image again (if ever) it will suppossedly load faster. When computers were slower this probably made sense. Instead of speeding things up it slows things down or even prevents an image from loading. This is because each time it's trying to display an image or a webpage it has to look at EVERYTHING in its unsorted "bucket." When images begin to load slowly I go to the "cache" or "browsing data" or "site data" and delete this garbage. If you also delete the "cookies" you may have to sign in to the site you use, which isn't the end of the world. Cookies aren't slowing it down, but some or many of these cookies are likely tracking you.
Thanks, Richard, I'll give it a try!
