really dumb question

When you're typing in your message to post, you'll see a bunch of buttons above the text area. Experiment with them to see what they do.

For example:

[b][/b] will make your text bold.
[i][/i] will italicize your text.
[u][/u] will underline your text.

[quote][/quote] will quote your text

etc., etc., etc...
