1. How can I use subscripts and/ or different font sizes in my posts? The VB code explanation ip top doesn’t help.

2. Is there any way to keep from being e-mailed AFTER I have posted? i.e. If I get sick of a thread and don’t want to hear from it again.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

You can use [sub]subscripts[/sub] by using the [and] around sub. The same goes for [sup]superscripts[/sup], except you use sup. Open my message in a “reply with quote” and you can see it in action.

Last I heard, you had to e-mail a mod. But I’m not positive.

I think that’s the way it is set up here, but I didn’t know so I kept quiet.

That’s correct. Turning off e-mail notification requires us to go in and edit your post. E-mail one of the mods in the specific forum and we’ll be happy to do it for you.
