Guest Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I think it's useful to have somewhere to try things out like different sized fonts and colours. It's also useful to try out different emoticons. So can we use this one for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 You've not got jpg at the end! I don't think the whole of the url address has copied and pasted properly. It should end with .jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 How'd you do that then smartie-pants? None of them seem to have .jpg at the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I opened the picture, right clicked on it as the address in the top bar wasn't complete for some reason. When you right click on it, a menu comes up. Find the url address (starts http and ends .jpg), highlight the lot and click copy then paste into the posting box, highlight the lot again and click the Img button and voila!

chocchick Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 How do I do a link to a website without showing the URL-i.e. if I were to type link so that when you clicked on the blue text it went to a link? I can just paste in the URL and that works but it is not as pretty, and I can't get HTML to work. I've noticed there is a URL button but don't know how to use it. To link to another post, do you just paste in the URL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 It's a bit complicated to explain but you need to paste the link... www.whateveryourlinkis.co.uk then add the following..... [url= at the front of the link ] behind the link followed by...... without the * followed by Whatever you want your fancy link to say followed by and that should work. In summary, it should look like this but without the asterisks which are only there to stop the link from working - don't leave a space where they were either!

Lesley Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Kate - doesn't it need [/url] at the end of everything? so, it should look like this Whatever you want your fancy link to say[/color*] _________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'm still impressed. I finally got my head round it by starting with the finished thing with asterisks then reading the first bit again. Long live the superpants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
