61. I think we've messed up DU

because in replying, my text is now supersized, even without the brackets!

But, when using any bbcode you have to start and end the code with the square brackets. Start with the one that's nearest the 'P' on the keyboard, and end with the one that's nearest the 'backslash'. Now, you've "closed" the code and can post your text to be enlarged. The "/font" phrase also must be enclosed in the brackets or it won't work.

Now to figure out how to reduce my viewing text
