I tried to start a new topic, but got only a blank screen.

I am wondering if we can get a primer on formatting.

Right now, no paragraph breaks, don't know how to use the formatting help tips. I'm assuming that in order to format, we have to get out of the posting mode and into some other mode.

For instance, according to the formatting help, if you do *this* you get bold type, but of course all I got was the word with a star on either end of it.
