Re: POSTING FOR DUMMIES--PLEASE HELP!

I've got two threads going, one for Firefox/ html and one for IE/ graphical editor. It actually took you posting on this thread what you had to do to remind me that simple, everyday things that we're used to in one version are completely different in the other, so thanks for helping me see that! So I'm writing two separate versions.

And now, of course, after all that, the forums upgrade that went through the other night has laid it all out, right in front of our noses! Smiley Very Happy

Try this, although it's awfully clunky:

leggo, 

 

I had issues with imageshack where I couldn't post pictures. Now I recently learned how to insert pictures last month and now I'm having fun with it.

 

I use photobucket. You can upload pictures into the account and the command line will appear below each picture. Without having the info in front of me, I would select the 2nd command line of the 4 showing and will copy that. I'll then go back into the forums and select the picture icon. I'll copy and past into the "image URL" field. The forums recently updated where you can size the picture. 300x300 will take up most of the screen and your avatar is likely 30x30 (in reation). I'll click Insert and that's it. You should see the picture.

OK, how do you mean, "but how do you caption a previous post to use in your reply???"? Do you mean quoting the previous post, or just making the caption carry on (which it does automatically)?

If you're trying to quote (repeat) the post that you're replying to, click the underlined "Reply" that is actually at the top left of that post, not the bigger "Reply" that's at the top of the overall thread. Once the text box pops open, click "Quote Post" at the upper right, and it will pop up. If you're quoting someone who has been posting in IE (Internet Explorer), especially if they've already quoted several posts themselves, you might have acres and acres of white space to clean off if you want.

For the smileys: are you in Mozilla/ Firefox or in IE? If you're in IE, the easy way to do smileys is to click the "Graphical Editor" button at the lower right, wait for the menu bar to load up at the top, click the smiley button, and pick the one you want. If you're in IE but don't like the graphical editor, or if you're in FF, here's how you do smileys. (You can spell them out if you like, but this is quicker.) Leave out the space between the colon and parenthesis, or whatever the pairs are:

Smiley Happy : )
Smiley Sad : (
Smiley Surprised : O
Smiley Very Happy : D
Smiley Tongue : P
Smiley Indifferent : | (this is the upper case of the \ key)
Smiley Mad : smileymad :

I have probably guessed wrong what you were asking. Smiley Sad It doesn't take much to confuse me these days! Smiley Tongue You were probably asking something completely different Smiley Surprised , so please post back and untangle me (again.) Smiley Very Happy
Update to Smiley Mad type > : ( without any spaces
