That's how it shows up when using the iPad. I wondered the same thing when I first started using my iPad on here. There are some lovely people who kindly explained it.

Gee Skylands, maybe YOU should take a technology course as you obviously don't know that an iPad is a tablet.

Geesh, could you be any ruder?

Re: Sorry new at this, but how do i

If you're like me, I spend ALOT of time in my iPad....even if my Mac is in the same room, I'll type on my iPad. Of course we all know QVC gives us "little print" with no option for bold, underline, italics & paragraphs. I'VE FOUND A WAY! Granted there's a little work on the front end, but it's an option.

If you "quote" a poster, you'll see all the CODE that's embedded...and that's what you'll use. For illustration purposes only, I'll add a "$" so you can see the code without iPad inverting it to Code. REMOVE the $ to have it work, okay? There are 2 codes for each action...one to start & another to end.

Paragraph, start = <$p>

Paragraph, end = <$/p>

Bold, start = <$strong>

Bold, end = <$/strong>

Underline, start = <$span style="text-decoration: underline;">

Underline, end = <$/span>

Italics, start = <$em>

Italics, end = <$/em>

I've even created a shortcut by going to Settings - General - Keyboard & created a shortcut for each action. I've started the same topic on a separate thread so you can practice.

BTW, I've typed all this out on my iPad!

We don't have an option for font size here on the Q forums on a regular computer, either.

We can make it "bold", or copy it from a Word Program (see below), but that's about it, and no help, of course, from your phone.

Hi & Welcome, Qvclina!!!

editing my post...gave a suggestion, but I don't think it will work in the QVC environment. Sorry and Good Luck...
