To use mylot codes on the left side of the response box, you need to reach a certain number of post, and that is around 200. when you were able to reach 200 and still can't use it, log out for a while and log in again. When I joined in here I really work hard to reach my first 200 post so I can use the codes, talk about being excited 
oh well I know I am no good at words and I don't to offend people and so I really abuse my codes, only few of my topics and response has none. Being an avid user of it I find it hard sometimes to take my hands away from the keyboard and click on the mouse to use it. Now I ma trying to get used to including codes with just typing them.. like a codes is something like 
. I find it easier now specially when I use codes like bold, italics and underline
[b][i]how about you guys? how do you use your mylot codes?
click and highlight? or type it like I do now? [/i][/b]

Oh, this is a favorite habit of mines! I enjoy using the myLot codes, it expresses how I truly do feel. It lets others feel what I am feeling. I like to use it to show my interest in my discussion too. I have a tendency to use it very often! I have gotten to the point that I love to use them..

i always use it. i think you cannot find a single discussion i've started, or a response or a comment i made that does not contain even one. i put my text in bold on the last part of my discussion, when my question in the heading is being repeated, followed by a myLot code if i still have one to spare, so i guess that sort of become my signature, too.
i only wished myLot allowed us at least five codes per discussion. but i think the page would load slower if there is more than three per post, so i guess myLot has its valid reason.

I have not yet expereinced the joy of using mylot codes, some kind of a privileges eh?
as you can see I am still short to making it to 200, let's try later if I can beat the 200 mark before the day ends (and I hope I can, need to earn now)
is it fun using the codes?

I was already way beyond my 200th post when the mylot codes were introduced... and a lot of members were quite excited about this...... but i do not really use this feature a lot... since i really prefer to just type and express myself through words... although i use them from time to time... ...

I could not understand! What you are talking about! Are you talking about the codes to make a line bold or italic or underline it? Or using an emoticon? If yes, then why are you talking about reaching certain number of posts? Can't everybody use the codes while posting a discussion? But I think everybody has the access to the codes. For example I have not yet reached 200 posts. But I can use them. I have no problem in applying them in my discussions or in responds. Basically I use them when I need to emphasize a word or a sentence. Using the code is sometimes useful. Thanks.

I use the codes every now and then. Alot of times I forget that they are even there. I make my Mylot pages smaller and do not see them sometimes to the left of the screen.

I'm not so much into using those codes! I don't know, I've been used to just typing my thoughts and that's it...I'd submit after reviewing what I've written. In fact, I don't even understand what some of them mean! (ha!ha!ha) Funny but that is the truth!
