Re: double quotes in messages
Each to their own RightNow.
I like to surf the net with Javascript disabled which protects me from many of the viruses and malware and also means I don't get all the adverts and banners everywhere, everything runs much faster too. With Javascript disabled many website buttons no longer function, like for example the bold, italic, underline and insert image buttons you see when entering text and making posts here. Knowing how to do those things manually using the BB Codes I highlighted above means I can still achieve the same results without relying on buttons.
I would say also that many people on various forums but esp this one, come on and ask how to insert images into their posts. They tend to find the whole thing confusing even with buttons to do it. Using BB Codes however is ridiculously simple. Just typing {IMG} before an image reference (url) and {/IMG} after it and your done. Couldn't be easier really.
You can go to any image anywhere on the internet, RIGHT CLICK on that image and select properties and that shows you the URL for that image.
Just cut and paste that URL into a post, put the {IMG} {/IMG} header and footers around it and the image gets inserted when the post displays. Easy Peasey.
