First I can’t remember how to do all the different smileys. The ones that are universal throughout the world, like the regular smiley, the sad smiley and the winking smiley I’ve got. It’s the ones that use colons ~: to work that I can’t keep straight.
Second, how do I do a hyperlink in a post? Instead of having a URL (i.e. http:\blah blah blah) I’d like to be able to put a word or phrase that links to a website.
I hate not knowing how to do stuff on here that I can do other places. UGH!
UGH! By using my brain and checking the faq instead of trying to do a search I found the wonderful smiley list. YEAH!!
But I’m still confused on the hyperlink stuff.
Mods? Anybody? Really smart person who does this all the time?
My friend…I have JUST the thing for you…see forthwith:
[url =“http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=88156”]this[ /url]
If you ignore the space before the = sign at the beginning and also the space before the /url near then end, that will do it. If you hover over the quote icon at the bottom of a post, it will give you the post id number.
I hope that helps?
By way of example…the above is…this
Obviously, you can substitute ANY damn word you want for “this”. Just follow the same general outline of what I did.
Xploder, you are AWESOME!!!
