What do [Q] and [M] stand for?
The [Q] and [M] indicate Question and Message, respectively. This indicates to you whether their post is in the form of a general message or a question. You can indicate this by choosing one of the options in the pull down menu on the main post screen.
Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?
Yes, you can embed html tags anywhere in your post. I have included the option of allowing you to put in a link and a picture in case you were not familiar with html markup, but still wanted to add a link. Keep in mind that your address will already be made into a mailto: link and therefore you should not add any html markup around it.
