    If you type an ampersand ( the snailly thing)


    and then the name of the person you want eg  

    B3

    it should then send a message to that person to say they have been mentioned.

    I don't think that's it either @fidgetbones. It's definitely what @Fire does

    Fire has the knowing
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    When you open a reply window you should see an icon at the top that looks like </>. If you hover over that it will say 'Toggle HTML view'. Clicking that allows you to reply in HTML code and have greater control over the appearance of your text. If you quote Fire's post with the highlighted text it will show you the code she uses

    I use the link icon.

    Above the screen

    You highlight the words you want to hyperlink 


    click the link icon


    This box should appear:



    Add the (real) web address   http://www.trumpisawazzock.com/
    and click ok. That should do it. It looks complicated but isn't really.
