(Note that the graphics for icons/buttons may be different or change with different forum styles - these are just two examples of what you should be looking for.)

The message creation form appears with your message inside it.

Edit the message.

To enable or disable BBCode and smilies, to attach or remove your signature, or to start or stop watching the corresponding topic, select or de-select the corresponding check boxes at the bottom of the form.
|
 Note: If you do turn BBCode off, the messages of other forum members who use BBCode to format words and phrases are likely appear odd. You might see the actual codes in their messages, rather than the formatting that those codes display. For example, instead of seeing bold text, you might see [b] and [/b] codes around the words that they are intending to display as bold.
