Don’t grumble. You have clarified stuff I have written about 8,759 times so far. It’s about time I get one.

Not to worry. It was only pretend grumbling. :wink:

Veteran.

“Stupid” is not the same as “unknowing.”

You asked for information, that’s not stupid either.

Perhaps you will get more satisfaction by editing your profile options.

  1. Click on “UserCP” in the blue bar at the top of most every SDMB page.
  2. Click on “Edit Options” in the list of things to do on the left hand side.

Here you may custom tailor your message board experience as you like. The categories are mostly self-explanatory but ask about anything you don’t understand.

What I think you want is down towards the bottom. “Message Editor Interface.” Click for “Standard Editor – Extra formatting controls” in the menu box.

Click on “Save Changes.”

Go on about your business. See if that makes any difference for you.

Hope this helps.

It turned out to be a thingy ( technical term that ), in Firefox, but thank you nonetheless.

Agreed. Note however that “been” would be incorrect after retirement for a veteran, who would retain veteran status. After retirement most veterinarians stop paying state licensure fees and thus they “were once” a veterinarian.

So there. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, and welcome justanoldvet. :wink:

Smilies on Foxfire come and go, depending on the update. I noticed earlier last week, they were disallowed, but now they are back.

…grumble grumble… boy, you try to pay someone a compliment around here…
:smiley:

:smiley: hehe. sorry, bud.

If, OTOH, you’d been a licensed vet before volunteering for duty in Iraq training bomb-sniffing dogs, then your civillian license to practice veterinary medicine expired while you were overseas, then you returned to private practice and renewed, you’d have to change your name to VetExVetVetVet.
I think.
