Forum Posting Tips
Forum Posting TipsOk, you'd think after posting over 400 times, I'd know this stuff. But embarassingly enough, I don't.
Two things: 1) When quoting someone, is there an easier way to insert their name, rather than typing ="username" into the quote brackets? Some way you can select the quote and paste it in your post and it remembers where you copied it from? 2)How do I link a URL address to the blue text, rather than just pasting the whole thing? For example instead of it saying http://www.mscl.com, it just says you can find it "here" and you click on "here" and off you go. Please excuse my ignorance.

Re: Forum Posting Tips1) When you hit the "Quote" button on a post it will automatically populate their username. If you are doing it manually...you have to type it in. 2) You need to type {url=http://www.theaddressyouwantittogoto} TEXT {/url} Replace the {'s with ['s Re: Forum Posting TipsThank God (or Fnordboy...)! I've been wondering that for ages. test: HERE --------------------------------------------- http://www.urban-hills.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------- Re: Forum Posting TipsIt took me awhile to figure this out too. When I'm not sure how to use one of the codes I find a post in which it was used and quote it, then the format is displayed in my text box. Asking was probably a lot easier. for the first month or so that I was using the url tags in that way I kept forgetting what to do and would search through the Buffy thread for one of CG's posts to quote to get the format straightenend out.
Re: Forum Posting TipsThey are indeed interchangeable

Look, if this is weird for you, being tutored? I don't mind helping you a little longer. You could have sex with me if you really want to help...I guess that's a "no"?
You can also wave your mouse pointer over the special effect buttons in the posting window; a brief explanation of the button's function and its equivalent code will appear just above the message body box, below the font colour and font size options.
I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

And in case you haven't found it (the link is a bit hidden in the message composing window under "Options - BBCode") - here is a help page for the BBCode of this forum: http://www.mscl.com/forum/faq.php?mode=bbcode.
After reading CG's advice to another poster to read the Forum Rules, I clicked on it, just to reread them, and guess what I discovered for the first time???!!! the Internet Acronyms Dictionary!!! Now I don't have to feel confused, and then post that I'm confused, and then be confused as to why I didn't get whatever it is in the first place Well, I didn't read the whole list, but I'm guessing stuff like ( o Y o) and <3 aren't on it, so maybe I will still be confused sometimes, but then again, ... damn, what was I saying?
Sometimes I write a little MSCL fanfiction: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1039807/Jody-Barsch
Also, after multiple V. Mars reiterations, and finally a Deadwood movie, still wishing for some continuation of The Riches ! All please ignore my post: I'm testing something...
Hmm. didn't work. --------------------------------------------- http://www.urban-hills.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------- Who is onlineUsers browsing this forum: No registered users and 3 guests |
