Hi Patricia, welcome to the madness, glad you decided to join up. Just remember that, even though you, like me, are one of the more 'mature' members, you can be as sensible or as silly as you want. I err on the side of silliness. 

Thanks, hepzibah! As the saying goes, "There's no point in being grown-up if you can't be silly sometimes."

Look  inside this thread for some answers,  ok?

Also--Hit  QUOTE   inside  this post,  and you'll see  that I did the same thing that Susi  advised.  One thing to note--when you put the name of a color in the brackets,  sometimes they  won't work,  and then you'll have to use numbers. 

Here's a site   that  will list  bb code numbers  for colors.

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll like it here.
Just out of curiosity, what does the Welsh mean in your signature?

Thanks, hypergreenfrog, I really do like it here, so much fun and information!

To answer your question -- Years ago Welsh singer Tom Jones had a TV show that was broadcast weekly here in US and he always close his show with these words. The translations is "Blessed be your life, and I wish you joy always." It's been one of my favorite quotes for many years.
