<p>bulletandpima, and your last bracket should say “color” not “red”</p>
<p>bulletandpima, and your last bracket should say “color” not “red”</p>
<p> bullet and pima</p>
<p>I think there should be no space between the last word and the third bracket.</p>
<p>I hate you all</p>
<p>It worked </p>
<p>Now I love you all <3</p>
<p>Okay now lets do bolds…this is so much cheaper than the grey hair guy who is always selling his software :)</p>
<p>Back on topic, my favorite still has been how much I learned about the ROOMBA. Bullet joked that if they had a beer and chip holder he would go out and buy one…somebody sent a link and you betcha they do have one</p>
<p>I also never expected this thread to have so many responses, it does show CC has an effect on us all in many different ways</p>
<p>I think CC saves so many of us from being absorbed by empty nest syndrome, to see others feeling the same way and at the same time to be able to give back to newbies the info we have learned- and wish we’d known on our first college admissions cycle!</p>
<p>Ooooh, I did it!</p>
<p>isn’t it great?</p>
<p>still waiting to do bold</p>
<p>Okay pink is not a good color…look CC has taught me a new lesson!</p>
<p>[ b]bold**</p>
<p>Same idea. No space after brackets.
bold</p>
<p>marite, thanks</p>
<p>Okay next question</p>
<p>Life is good I now can even do it in color…how sick that this makes me happy…Thanks CC</p>
<p>The cool thing about bold, italics and underlines is that you don’t have to type all those brackets and slashes. Just highlight the word(s) and hit control B, I or U. Even easier!</p>
<p>Actually this was in post 49.</p>

<p>WAY Cool…I am less of a geek now</p>
<p>This place has shown me that there are people all over the world who have the same values. I have a whole network of cyber friends, and as much as I knew about the college process before I started frequenting CC, (which was a lot) I know that much more now. I find that I am fascinated with hearing how people’s kids are now doing, years after first signing on to this site. My family clearly thinks that I am nuts to have these cyber “relationships,” and there is a collective :rolleyes: in my house when I burst out laughing reading a CC forum. It’s all good, and when it’s not, I just switch threads! ;)</p>
<p>bulletandpima, with all due respect, you may be more of a geek now, with your increased knowledge of BBCode. 
In a good way.</p>
<p>I am a freshman in college and I rarely post on here, but I am a very frequent lurker. I just wanted to share that for the past few years I have been active on a different message board, on which I am even in a “secret society” (basically a mini forum on the message board). The membrs in it have become very dear to me, and I consider us like a family. I trust some of them more than I would friends IRL. So, I am just stating that I understand how the experience of getting to know people online is so special. I don’t post as much anymore, but I loved getting home after school during high school and getting onto the forum and seeing new responses. It felt like a safe haven to me. I’ve gotten to know people a few years younger and older than me, of different ethnicities and backgrounds. We may be at different stages in our lives, but we are all intellectual and wonderful. And I remember wondering, hmm will we still all be doing this when we’re older? I now know that it will be highly possible :)</p>
<p>So, my point is that I could relate to this thread and I am glad that this forum turned out to be some sort of a close knit community. And while I do not directly interact with the posters here, I am become familiarized with the screen names of frequent posters, so I like coming here and reading your posts and stories. :D</p>
<p>I can’t believe how much I have learned from the many helpful and well-informed people who frequent this forum. I don’t have a child in college yet - my oldest is a HS Sophomore - but I feel I am becoming well prepared for when her search begins. And, if a problem arises, I know I have people I can turn to for support.</p>
<p>Now, I want to try making blue words too! blue words</p>
<p>It worked!!! :)</p>
<p> so sad what can make us happy :)</p>
<p>I wanted to see if the smiley would change colors…oh well</p>
<p>cc has helped me calm down,i didnt go to college in this country,my son eldest applied this yr and i am so anxious but every time i logon here feel better</p>
<p>Here is my list:</p>
<ol>
<li>Learned not to rely on spellchecker too much;</li>
<li>Roomba - way too cool!</li>
<li>Calmed some of my anxieties;
etc.</li>
</ol>
<p>H says I’m addicted. He has not seen the posters with 10,000 posts who have been on CC since its inception!</p>
<p>Reminds me of that bumper sticker, “you say I’m a b**** like it’s a bad thing?”</p>
<p>You say I’m addicted to CC, like it’s a bad thing?</p>
