How do you make a link ?

How do you make a link in a post ?

And how do you make a link in signature ?

How do you change the color's and size of the letters ?

Solver · August 21, 2002, 09:47

If you type link text in a post, like http://apolyton.net , it's automatically made a link.

To make link in post, you type like [url=[b][/b]http://apolyton.net]Click here [/url].

Thanks ! That is fast !

But , how is a link to a page on apolyton created ?

Or a link to a forum thread ?

Solver · August 21, 2002, 09:50

Get the address of that thread, and paste it. For instance, address of this one is http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=59624 , so just by pasting it into my post, there's a link.

SABRA · August 21, 2002, 09:56

Sorry but my computer knowledge is limited .

How do you write that link ?

Same as above and the thread number ?

Click here .

SABRA · August 21, 2002, 09:59

While trying to make one , there was only failure ?

Do you add after apolyton . net "threadid50000" then close it with "]" ?

How do you add a color ?

Solver · August 21, 2002, 10:13

Well, at the top of your browser, there's address of the thread. I merely selected it, copied by Control-C and pasted here by Control-V...

As for colors, erm, you could somehow do it, not remember, maybe like [color==RED]red text[/color] works?

SABRA · August 21, 2002, 10:16

The color seems not to work

How do you add a mail like you have in your signature ?

And how come its in blue - can you change the color ?

SABRA · August 21, 2002, 10:19

Try - color

[url=http://apolyton.netthreadid59625][color==RED]Click here[/color][url]

SABRA · August 21, 2002, 10:20

HUH .

Red turns in to green ?

And why did the rest not work ?

Sorry but green become "blue" ?
The link is there , it does not work but its there .
"/" was forgotten .

So how do you link a mail ?

Can such links work in a signature ?

What about the colours ?

How do you change the size of the text ? - Or have it bold ?

Solver · August 21, 2002, 10:28

Hey, am I the only one responding here

?

To get a link in my signature, I typed [email=solver@apolyton.net]Solver the "Running Beer" [/email]

SABRA · August 21, 2002, 10:34

And all of this works in your signature also ?

Thanks for your help !

Maybe the others dont know it or they feel it's a stupid question .

Now is there some code for the colour's ?

So if you type that then it becomes by default in "blue" ?

This seems to be the case .

SABRA · August 21, 2002, 10:41

Hmm , after trying to write a link in the signature = no go ?

SABRA · August 21, 2002, 10:45

How do you turn HTML code and Smilie's ON in the profile ?

Is this maybe the reason why it does not go in the signature ?

Solver · August 21, 2002, 11:06

HTML isn't on for signatures, that VB code is, with [url] tags, etc.

Ya know, also, it's kinda annoying to have three posts by in a row all the time, can you post your subjects in one or two posts?

Qilue · August 21, 2002, 11:13

Perhaps he(she?) is not yet familiar with the Edit button?

Rasbelin · August 21, 2002, 11:19

SABRA,

have a look at this nice little FAQ document: Forums: Reading and Posting Messages.

Solver · August 21, 2002, 11:19

I saw lots of posts by him (her) in Civ 3 section... enormous posting now

.

Rasbelin · August 21, 2002, 11:24

He now seems to be active like what. Posts like a ferret.

Skanky Burns · August 21, 2002, 19:33

Click the "Post Reply" button.
Click on the relevant options you are interested in like http or color. Observe the code that it writes. Use that same code for your own needs.

Is it that hard to figure out?

Panag · August 22, 2002, 18:23
