HI, I AM NEW TO THIS AND HAVE A QUESTION. IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME IN THIS MATTER PLEASE E-MAIL ME. TODAY I SPOKE WITH AN INS OFFICIAL CONCERNING THE 2ND TIME THAT I SENT IN A I-600A FORM. THE OFFICER SAID THAT THE FORM WAS SENT IN LATE AND THAT MEANS I AM NOT ENTITLED TO THE FEE WAIVER. SINCE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ABOUT TWENTY MONTHS NOW AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY CHILD FROM CHINA THE PROCESS IS ONGOING. THEREFORE, THE FEE SHOULD BE WAIVED. AM I WRONG IN THIS AND WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANKS CLADA 924@AOL.COM

Thanks so much I just did it and it was posted correctly. I don’t know why I could not figure that out.

You aren’t doing anything wrong - that’s what it is supposed to do. See my section in this post where it explains the opening and closing codes? It does that for anything that you do to format something. If you do it as you type then you’d click the button, then type the words, then click the button again to turn it off. If you type it first and highlight the text to be formatted (bold or purple or whatever) then you just click the button once and it will put the codes at beginning and end of what you’ve got highlighted.

As for smilies, just click them once, they don’t need to be turned on and off. Every time they are there it will show them one time. If you want to check it to make sure it’s right you can always preview it first.

Since we are adressing forum questions, I have one. When I go to leave a comment in the forum it gives you the option to add smilies and change font and color and stuff. When I click to do so it just puts like a code in, for example instead of make writing purple it says purple. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for this post. I’m going to print it for future reference. I tend to stay in my comfort zone and not try new features if I’m unsure about them.

Can you also explain how one moves through the ranks with regard to number of posts on the forum? I think I’ll probably always be a jester or whatever I am. A serf, maybe? I don’t post often.

Because deleting an account deletes all posts by that user, which can make conversations not make sense anymore.

I can’t imagine why someone would want to delete their account. If they don’t want to come back, they can just not come back.

I’m glad you posted this topic. In the HELP section in the forum software, specifically, the HELP on a user’s PROFILE, it explains how a user can delete their own account by clicking the “Delete this account” link (under the ACTIONS section on the left). However, when a user goes into their own profile to modify it, this link is not available (it does not show).

Can you speak as to why you have chosen to disable this option, and not allow users to delete their own accounts? There may be valid reasons someone would want to do this. Thanks.
