I don't recall that it was labeled as BB Code - it was just there.

This "discovery" that I can find terms via Google has been a day brightener for me. I still don't REALLY understand what is said - but at least a have a bit of a clue as to what is going on here and there.

It's sort of like medical terminology - explicit if one knows what the terms mean - and total "foreign language" when one doesn't.

Another positive thought - for me, anyway - even some computer literate folks are finding this site still has room for more changes to make it easier to use.
