Some posters post things in really small letters. How do they do that? I looked all over the place and I can’t find it. (Which probably means that it is right in plain sight, right in front of my eyes. :D.) Anyway, how do you do it?

Whenever somebody does something that you wish to emulate, the easiest way to learn how to do it is to use QUOTE.

This will show you exactly what they put into their post.
