SCI is pleased to share further details on the updated Forums.
The forums are open to all, and offer you a great opportunity to share your news and updates. So, whether you have an event planned or want to start a discussion about a hot topic in your field, why not add a post to the forums?
We have introduced new functionality to the forums to make them more user friendly. We are pleased to let you know that it is now easier to add images, links and even format the text used for your posts.
Below, we have provided a few more details about the additional features.
Formatting Text
When you create a new post or reply to an existing post, you will see an updated tool bar above the text box where you can enter your post.
The tool bar is styled to be similar to the menu found in software packages like Microsoft Word. As can be seen, you can change the colour and size of your text. You can also make it bold, italics underline and highlight it.
You can change the alignment of posts from left, to right aligned or aligned centrally. You can also insert tabs so there is a margin between the border and the start of the text, and put your text in a numbered or bulleted list.
You also now have the option to spell check your text before you share it through the forums.
