I have two questions, I havn't been able to figure out.

1. How do you add a 'hypertexed' web link to a post?

2. I see people posting pictures in their 'forum posts' all the time - how do they do it. Some of them are quite elaborate - even animated. I can't figure it out.

anyone know?

thanks

It's called BBCode, or if you type the www. in front of the web address, it will automatically be a hyperlink.

Hi OP, to post pics, you have to sign up for a photo hosting site that you first upload the pics, then you take the code from that site. Try photobucket or flicker.

If you want to post a link to a site, type the letters url with brackets around it [*] in front of the link, then type in the same but with a / in front of the letter u at the end of the link.


You can check here for more info:

Hope this helps. flowerforyou

Edit: just see the above link. The site won't allow me to put the proper sequence.

If you quote someone who has posted the things you are asking about, you can see exactly what the code should look like.
