shrimp Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I need some help on filling out the profile for my Dad. I see everyone uses dates and starts on a new line, but I must do something wrong, it doesn't work for me. So I used an abreviated history that doesn't tell the story nearly as well as the way the rest of you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsC1210 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi Shrimp I am sure that someone else will be along with a very detailed explanation of how to do this but I simply typed out my step dad's history in a blank email, copied it then pasted it in the appropriate area on my profile then saved it. I hope this helps. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 when you go into the create a profile section ther eis a box in center I know you know this but going fromn 1st step so its easier to explain. Use the large box in profile and type a sentence or a date and sentence, then hit enter. and go to next date. Let me know if this helps and then I can help more if need be. This is the best way I cnn explain it myself!! hugs and thoughts randyW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimp Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks so much. It was the "enter" part I was missing. So easy, once you know the secret!. I will work on getting done and up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recce101 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Shrimp, your profile is quite readable as is, but I agree that as it gets longer it would be easier to read with each entry on a separate line. You can use a regular message window (like the "Post a reply" window I'm typing in now), apply any bold/italics/color codes you want, and check how it looks with the "Preview" button. But instead of sending the message, copy everything (codes and all) with CTRL-C, then go to your profile and paste in everything with CTRL-V, and hit "Submit." In other words, you can format the profile exactly like you can a message, the only difference being that the codes aren't conveniently displayed next to the very tiny profile input window.

shrimp Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks! That's a pretty pooch. I have a Pekingese. He and the Hubby help me get through this. As I was leaving rehab tonight they were bringing in visiting dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
