Maybe I’m just not getting it… 😕

I’ve noticed that sometimes people are able to put “titles” on their responses. They appear in smaller type and in bold. I checked the vB code page, but there is no mention on how to do this. Can anyone help?

Sorry, I never noticed that. Boy, do I feel dumb.

Thank you Arnold.
