Now, an unrelated technical question - how do quote in italics from other people's posts? Is it some facility I have missed or just a clever use of ctrl+i ?
It's not Ctrl-i; it's hypertext markup language. Above the text entry box, and also in the main header of Tarboard, there's a link to the Hypertext Guide; this explains it all.
It's pretty simple, so long as you keep it simple. Before posting here I'd never used it, and this is still the only place I do so, but I can handle italics now... Usually... Sometimes...
