Coupla posting questions for those that know
Permalink  

1 - How do I post links here? I can see the You Tube post helper box above, but occasionally I have had one from elsewhere that wont be a clickable link.

2 - Why when I click on an email notification does the site and correct thread open up, but drop me at the opening post instead of the notification post?

1 When posting a link...You first type a name if you wish...for the link. Then, left click and hold down to hi-lite the name you typed. At that time, the Link above will become active. Click it...Then the box shows up. Insert the link, name of info, and which window you want it to open in.

Then, when you click ok, you get the link like below...

Hi There...

 

 

2 It does that to me also. Must be the site settings...

When adding links, I put the [url] tags in manually....this page explains it
www.activeboard.com/misc/howto.spark">www.activeboard.com/misc/howto.spark
Its about the only thing I dont like about the Activeboard format, but its free and we get what we pay for I guess

Im not sure how that works, I dont subscribe to threads, since I check in here every day.....I will try it and see what I can do

Let's give it a try - would have been on the joke page, but ........

[url]biggeekdad.com/2011/10/bikers-movie-theatre/[url]

Denny, Poncho - it actually works. Thanks

The other, not a problem, just a nuisance

Works on my machine, Dave. I also put the in front and the in the rear of the link. If it's an image that won't work then try putting in front and in the rear.

This is with the regular url symbols. Seems to work fine doing it like that...[ url ] ------------ [ / url ]

The spaces are so the url shows up...

On a picture to show, you have to use the img tag. I'll use spaces so you can see them...

[img ]---------[/img ].

 

Or you can paste the link here, hi-lite it, and pick the picture code above...

http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs50/i/2009/302/1/1/__Hi_There______by_CrimsonKanji.

If you want to insert the picture itself, you must insert the link to the picture itself. Not on a page. It must be when viewing the picture all by itself, as in view picture or image...Then, copy that url and insert it here, and you get the picture itself.

Looks like I have plenty to experiment with and may just use this, with permission confuseas my 'test' thread.

Gotta be archaic software, Harry - but in fact it's usually more stable then many of the other on-line forums that say they are the latest and greatest plus the price is right

Didn't know that I had to use spaces in order for the [ url ] [ / url ] and the [ img ] and [ / img ] to show on the post.
