How to Edit Posts
-
I have looked around and not found a wiki or forum category for topics such as how to edit a post and how to mark a section of a post as code. When I click Topic Tools, or anywhere else in the topic thread, there is no option to edit my post.
Most forums I use have one of two methods of marking text as code. Most frequent is:
[CODE] if( something) { code }[/CODE]
The other most prevalent method is to highlight the code than click one of a series of options to mark the highlighted segment as code. I find neither of those here.
Someone told me how to do that but I don't see a search function or an option to show all my subscribed threads.
Complicating factor: I work for the government and everything goes through some highly restrictive firewalls. It may just be that some options do not make it through the firewall and I cannot see them. A wiki might describe shortcut keystrokes to accomplish common formatting.
So, have I not discovered that part of these forums or have they not been created. -

Use this above your posting window and you will get
```
//your code here
```
where you see "// your code here" should be self-explanatory.Someone told me how to do that but I don't see a search function or an option to show all my subscribed threads.

The three vertical dots are not display anywhere on my computer. I see the 0 for up and down vote, but do not see the up and down arrows (The carot and the upside down carot) There is an invisible area that I can click to get a display showing the number of each up or down votes.
Thanks for the note about the triple ticks (single quote) I will try that here:
some code
Oh, and that is not the single quote or apostrophe, on my keyboard it is the tick shared with the tilde key.
Where you wrote: If you like to see your posts you the symbol
I click that and the options provided are:
Online
Away
Do not disturb
Invisible
Edit Profile

There is nothing to list my posts.
Now I see that there are a couple of clickable area to the left of the icon used to log out. When I hover there I see notifications for Search, Notifications, and Chats. The text for those items is not displayed.
Ok, I am better off than I was before. Thank you for your time. -
