I just figured out how to do this, so In case anyone is interested: To use the degree symbol like 200° F use alt+ 0176. :D

You can access a whole bunch of symbols in windows by going to:

Start :arrow: All programs :arrow: Accessories :arrow: System tools :arrow: Character Map

You can drag and drop them right into the posting pane -or- highlight and select copy. If you look down in the lower right it will tell you what the keystroke is. Not all of them have keystokes.

For Firefox you need to use alt+shift and the letter . There's actually a few keys, try L .

Edit: ahh damn, my joke doesn't work in IE:

alt + Access Key focuses on the link, but requires ↵ Enter to be pressed in order to activate the link


If you did it firefox you get logged out.
