Question here mainly about appearance of the goals. I can't seem to figure out how people get colors, larger text, crossout, etc, into their short term long term goals list.
That's done with one of the advanced editors, which can be set up in your Control Panel. The setting is called "Use rich edit box when composing messages?" and the default is No.
To access the formatting option, change this to 'Yes' or 'TinyMCE editor' and you'll get a toolbar for formatting text, creating tables etc.. like you'd see in a word processor.
