Highlighting Text in Posts and PMs

Featured Replies

In another forum member's replies to my PMs, I see coding (which I also see in this message where I have added bold, color, and quotes) that indicates bold and color highlighting, and

quotes
. But I only see the coding, not the highlighted text or text wrapped in quotation marks. I can't find anything in the Help or FAQs to help me view what I think is called BBCode in replies. Can I change some personal setting so this highlighting becomes visible in PMs and normal forum posts?Two other questions:1. In exchanging PMs (personal messages?) with a forum member. I didn't realize that I needed to tick the "Add a copy of this message to my sent items folder" checkbox to save my sent PMs. Have I lost my PM "posts" for good?2. I'd like to see my entire exchange of PMs from top to bottom in either first-to-last or last-to-first order. Is there a way to do that?Thank you very much, MH

Try clicking on My Controls (top of the page) and then scrolling down to Board Settings and change the editor options to Rich Text.I believe that will then provide the options you are seeking when posting etc.

I had already done that and immediately upon posting the message to which you replied below I could see that my forum post displays the desired text highlighting. It doesn't seem to work for personal messages though - probably designed that way. The fact that the coding is there suggests to me that there's probably a way to view the highlighting - maybe there's a way to view my personal messages while signed in to a forum and the highlighting is shown then.Thanks David
