wuzzzer Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Weather's been way colder than average. We had a ton of snow in March and the highs have only been in the mid 30s. Its going to be well into May before all this snow is gone. Bad floods are pretty much a certainty once everything starts melting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungkiman Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Is there a way to give the link another name (i.e. Link) with this method? Any advice on advanced smilies? I have figured out the easy ones [] but my "Indifferent" smiley come across like this: [:I] How do you make the mouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 When you start a new thread or reply to one, just click on the 'Smilies Library' tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 When you start a new thread or reply to one, just click on the 'Smilies Library' tab. I was trying to find out how to do this from Chrome, now that I know how to post active links (thank you!) and make paragraph breaks, but can't click on smilies like I can from IE. I can't figure out what keyboard character makes the mouth (between the brackets in BBCode) for "indifferent", "geeked", or the eyes for "sleep".

BigStewMan Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 slightly related question....why do some people have images of two people next to their screen names and others don't? At first, i thought it had to do with post count; but, i see people with less posts than i, that don't have these cartoon people. It surely can't mean that i have friends. So, what does it mean?

Thank you! I'll be writing apps in no time I hope this thread gets "pinned"... It is basic HTML. Here is a snippit from an HTML comand list concerning Image/Link and Comment tags: <img src="filename" title="text"> Insert the image file: .jpg, .gif, or .png files are supported by nearly all browsers. The title attribute is displayed by the "tool tips" function of the browser: when you run the mouse over the image. <h1 align="center"><img src="filename" alt="text"></h1> A little trick to get a centered image: enclose the image inside headline tags, with the align="center" attribute. <a href="filename"> Highlighted text </a> Creates a link to the listed file. This can be a path to a file located on the server, or it can be a link to a file on another computer. In the latter case, the file name should start out with "http://". Instead of the text you can put an <img src="whatever"> to get a clickable image as a link. This is a common way to putting in buttons. <a href="filename" target="_blank"> Highlighted text </a> The target="_blank" attribute creates a NEW browser window containing the linked HTML file. Note that the default behavior of an <a href=> tag, if you don't include a "target=" attribute, is to replace the current web page with the new one. <a href="mailto:you@yahoo.com"> Send an e-mail</a> The mailto: (followed by your e-mail address) inside the href value will turn on the e-mail program and set up a message that you can send. It usually works, but I recommend also writing your e-mail address somehwere that is visible, in case this bit of automation fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
