How do you put bold in posts?

When editing "Message Text" there are symbols at the top, B, I, U, etc. But when I click on B, all I get is an interminable hourglass and I have to hit ESC. How does this work?

something's wrong with your browser. I type type [ b ] and [ / b ] (wihtout the spaces)

I can bold with the those symbols but I get the hourglass when I click the bold B in the tool bar. What can I do about my bum browser? It's just IE, latest version.

This is underlined

This is italics

Whoa! This is bold.

Guess it's working now. Don't know why it's suddenly working. Thanks, folks!
