> But what I can’t accept is the ineffectiveness of my attempts at making an ordered list. I followed all the directions in the UBB tutoral, so what’s going on. ( And yes, I did try it before without the quotes. I got the same results. )

[list type=A]  
[li]This is the first bulleted item.[/li][li]This is the second bulleted item.[/li][/list]

Let’s see if this works–I copied and pasted it from the UBB instruction page. If it doesn’t, you’ll have to resign yourself to using HTML (see the thread “Making A List” for that)
