I don’t understand how people like you… oh, sorry, I just got here from GD. Don’t mind me, I’ll just leave quietly… ---

The ubb codes are a big help when you have a long long line for a site you want to post. The long site locations stringout to the right and made your message too wide for one screen viewing and the reader must then arrow over to read the rest. A lot of people just won’t be bothered and you won’t get read. ## So try the [my site](allthe junk for my site) and all that will show is “my site” and the margins of your post won’t be all messed up. Are you driving with your eyes open or are you using The Force? - A. Foley ---
