Care to repeat?

1. Look up the Unicode number (for example, at unicode.org/charts/)

2. Usually it's in hexadecimal. Use a calculator program to convert it to decimal.

3. Surround it by ampersand and hash-mark to the left, semicolon to the right.

So for example the heart sign is U+2665 in the Unicode charts. The decimal for this is 9829.

Writing &#9829; yields ♥ - a heart sign.

Here's another voter for the old style...

but the heck, we're going to get use to this one too

Ya know, some of the new features are cool, but I don't see member numbers any more. I believe everyone's post count suffered in the migration. I'm still learning the new system. The only thing that aggravates me is the tons of emails I'm now getting telling me that replies have been posted to this-and-that thread that I replied to. It's like, yeah, I'll go back and check later anyways, especially if it's a topic I like. OTOH, I have spent time trying to find others replies in topics that I've been interested in, but either forgot what they were called, or what forum they were in.

PS. I do like this new 'Attach file' feature

For example:

I love it.

Criminy, is that really Pseudonymph?

Looks like Aspen, Livius, and I have some competition!

sweet. Now I can post &#1488 instead of writing out Codex Sinaiticus. You learn something new everyday. Thanks to whoever posted that Unicode tip.

Um... yes, Bree, it was! I don't know what happened to it though. I saved it when she posted it to the thread featuring II users' pictures. Pitshade, if I did something wrong in posting that, or if she complained about it, then I apologize. Still, I think some notification that it was going to be removed would have been in order.

Oh, anyways, I figured out that I have to uncheck the "Email notification" box to stop getting notified about replies to threads that I post in.

Apparently, it was wrong of me to post her picture without consent. Especially since it caused lots of problems before. I am publicly apologizing to everyone, especially Psuedonymph (nee' SirenSpeak) for my unauthorized use of her likeness. I sincerely meant no harm by it.

let me demonstrate the attachment function using a more suitable subject, which I hope will be better for all.
