How do you make the opening or orignal post apear in the black frame box instead of a regular gray box?

Also, I apologize if you think this is in the wrong area, but as there is no "Help" section, putting this in the "Personal" are seemed like the best second choice.

It just happens if your thread gets over 4 posts. You could easily have asked this in the random thought thread.

Seriously, lurk more.

>>2 You dont ask this in random either. If it isnt answered in the FAQ then you can ask it, but please read the FAQ before you clutter up boards with dumb threads.

>>3 He wasn't suggesting that he make a new thread. He was saying to ask it in the Random Thought Thread, where you can talk about basically anything.

You are right that most question should be asked in the FAQ, though.
