Hi Rod,
My understanding is the old Yahoo SoftRock pages are completely disabled for peasants like us and only the admins still have access. We would be unable to setup a new account there since it is closed. But the action is *here* anyway.
Welcome to the new, same old group :)
73,
Bill KU8H

Works here with Thunderbird email client but it doesn't work if I go to the website to read the email with Chrome.

I use Thunderbird originally from Google so it seems they have those options.

Interesting, how does select other things other than bold. Your bold seemed to work OK.

Is there any way to add markdown formatting capability? For example, an
asterisk before and after a word or phrase changes it to bold or italics.
Several sites (such as Google Plus and ham.stackexchange.com) have markdown
capability.

I can assure you it doesn¡¯t work with plain text email, which is my preference, and I think I am not alone. Those who want a web forum with flashing gifs and emoticons can have one, AFAIAC.

That might only work with HTML turned on, it's turned off currently.

Re: [softrock40 @Yahoo] Re: Softrock40 move from Yahoo to groups.io
That is not the link to post emails to, that link is not an email address, that link is where you can check your old account and see if its there, if it's not there then on that page is a link to apply for an account. Email post address; < [email protected] > Create a new account email address; < [email protected] > Group owners/moderators email address to discuss problems; < [email protected] > Groups main page where the above links are found and other links and a login link; < /g/softrock40 >
