New Site Layout

Hi All -


Ok, I've had a few days to get used to the new layout and well, I'm still getting used to the new layout![:S]

First off, how do I make it so when I want to post something, it automatically defaults to "Use Rich Formatting"? Idon't reallylike having to push that little button "Use Rich Formatting" every time I want to quote someone, insert a htmlor use a funny face! [:P]. I've looked under settings, didn't see it. I've looked under "Customize", didn't see it. Not quite sure what all that under "customize" does ...anyone mess with it?

Also, is there a post new thread up at the top of the screen somewhere that I'm not "focusing" on? What's the difference between "Leave a Message" and "Start a Discussion" at the bottom of the screen? Is "Leave a Message" just for Admin, that's all I see under it.

There's a number of other "buttons" I'm not sure about yet but these are the main ones. I'm a creature of habit and I'm just trying to learn how to get full use out of what we have available now.

Hi Denise,


My first ever post to this forum, but I have been following the site for a while.


I am not sure if by clicking on the "new post" button, if I start a new thread or I just reply to the forum that I am following. I would like to add some pics of my dogs to the "pet" thread, but I am unsure how to at this stage.


So I thought I would reply to this and see what happens.

Oh, I see you

Question: Is there a way to get the "rich formatting" to come up as the default editor when replying to posts?


Edit--Guess--I should have read Denise's post first
