Hi Ann,
I don't mean to be a newbie nuisance, but you do seem to have the answers and willingness to share your knowlege!
You aren't a nuisance at all. Although any other questions might be best done in PM. (If you click on my screen name and choose send member a PM you'll get the box to do that.) That way, we don't take up space here with it.

I have a couple more tech-ie questions as I am learning how this forum works, (if you don't mind too much).
I don't quite have a good grip on the forum jargon, just yet; is there a shortlist within the forum I can reference somewhere for assistance on abbrev's such as the one you used,"lol" (which I'm seeing frequently in other places also), and other abbrev references--what does "lol" mean, or stand for? Or will I just have to learn as I go type of scenario?
I don't recall us having a guide to the abbreviations here. But, here's a link to one of the many spots where there are guides...
http://www.assessmentpsychology.com/internetglossary.htm There are likely others you'll see as well. If you aren't sure what it means, just ask and someone will know. Pretty much everyone uses them to some extent. It's kind of an internet shorthand. You get used to them pretty quickly.

Secondly, how did/do you separate the text for individual phrase replies, like you did in your reply above?
If you use the QUOTE button at the bottom of the post you want to refer to, it will copy the entire post into your text box for the reply. If all you want is to refer to a single line, you can just delete the rest of the text. If you want to repsond phrase by phrase, it's a matter of separating the parts you want to reply to individually and copy and paste the quote codes at the beginning and end of each.
The quote code is the word quote within brackets at the beginning and end of each quote. The beginning one will also say who you're quoting. To copy and paste it, just highlight it by dragging the mouse over it while holding down your button. Then, while it's highlighted , hold down the ctrl button on your keyboard and type the letter C. That will copy it. To paste it where you want it, get the cursor to where you need it and hold down the control button while typing the letter V.
Once you have that set up, you can type your replies between sections. (Feel free to practice in a PM or two if you like.)

Thirdly, one of my postings from yesterday (..."Gabriela in Brazil"--you may have seen it...) seems to have vanished!
I went to check it out today for a reply, and it is no longer visible on the posting's list; can't find it anywhere else either. Is that a normal scenario for the forum to automatically delete or move a posting arbitrarily like that? Maybe so, if there are no replies in "x" amount of time, huh? Is there a way within the forum to isolate a search for a particular post if in fact it does exist somewhere amoung the several hundred pages of posting's?
Hmmmmm. I just looked and didn't see it. It may have been deleted. Things like that (I saw it when it was first posted.) are best done via PM rather than open posts on the board. However, in doing so, you might want to keep in mind that the women here get a lot of PMs and aren't always receptive to them. It's best to get involved in conversations here and let folks get to know you before getting into too much personal contact. Then, they have a sense for who you are and you might get a more favorable response.

And lastly, (at least for tonight; I'm sure there will be other questions as I encounter them...please keep your door open...ha) are all those little "smile's" to the right of this text box drag and drop icons? Would you help me on these matters, please?
The smilies are set to just click on. Whereever your cursor is in the post, the smilie code will appear. Once you submit the post, the actual image will show in it. (There are more smilies to use if you click the MORE button under the visible selection. You'll want to have pop ups unblocked for the forum if you use a pop up stopper on your computer. Otherwise, you'll only be able to use those that are showing at the time.)

No rush, just when time is good for you to respond. And Thanks a bunch!!! Well, did I earn anymore points tonight for guessing any "right" answers to add to my (2) from last night--and those are "tickle points" right?....redeemable for extra tickling minutes?...I thought so!!! (ha)
I appreciate your help!!!
Hmmmmm.....let's see..... 1 point for being so polite in your requests for information. 1 point for the fact that I added an extra F to your name in my own response. But......

....a hearty newbie guess at the abbrev "lol" ( and in keeping wirh this site)....L-ove O-f L-aughter....am I good for another couple of "tickle points", or no?
BUZZZZZZ! You lose a point for getting that one wrong.
Go study those shortcuts, mister!
You now have 3 points total. As for them being tickle minutes.... We'll see.
