[shapeshifter]

just thought i'd let you guys in on a couple of ways to post whenever you're getting zoned...

howto: link your word(s)...

1) choose the word(s) by highlighting them. 2) click on the url button or insert the bracketed code to look like the example below. Code Select Expand [url]your word(s) here[/url] 3) edit it to reflect the following. you can cut 'n paste the target url behind the first bracketed code like so: Code Select Expand [url=http://www.your.url.here.com]your word(s) here[/url] ...and the outcome should look something like:

your word(s) here

go ahead click on it... can you believe that someone has actually registered www.your.url.here.com?

howto: link a picture...

1) cut 'n past the url of a picture onto the message area. 2a) insert the bracketed code. 2b) or choose the url to be displayed and highlight it then click on the img (or picture) button to insert the bracketed code around the highlighted area to look like the example below. Code Select Expand [img]http://www.my.url.here.com/your_sister's_picture.jpg[/img] 3a) edit it to reflect the following. you can cut 'n paste the target url behind the first bracketed code like so: Code Select Expand [url=http://www.your.url.here.com][img]http://www.my.url.here.com/your_sister's_picture.jpg[/img][/url] 3b) you could highlight the whole whatever then press a selected action and it will automagically place the selection within the code, then edit. ...and the outcome should look something like: well, guess i really couldn't post that... but you ought to have the picture by now. hope this helps somebody out there! always at your service, alan ps: one good way to experiment before getting postal is to use the preview button...

Thanks for getting this tip up.  I was trying to post a picture assuming is was a drag and drop thing but quickly found out it wasn't so easy.
