- Botafogo - 06-05-2003 I see net links in other people's posts yet I cannot seem to find a way to change an URL in text into a usable link???? - Thomas - 06-05-2003 All I do is copy (control+c) the whole text string and then paste it (control+v) onto my Netscape address line, and hit "enter." That concept comes from Mac OS and has been "borrowed" by Microsoft, yet those who were trained on DOS never got the message... - Botafogo - 06-05-2003 Yes, you can do that but some people are managing to past usable direct links into their posts and I don't know how. - Bucko - 06-05-2003 html is turned off on Wines.com message boards. - Botafogo - 06-05-2003 Bucko, I know I have seen posts (from IK maybe) with blue highlit, active links in them. This would not bring up a picture or anything, just a link you can click on... How do you do that? - Innkeeper - 06-05-2003 What you have to do when you make a post is to look to the left. If it says HTML in on you can do it like this: http://www.is-wine.com/index.html If is says HTML is off (which is usually says) you can't. - Bucko - 06-06-2003 There, IK squared you away. Now haul your Eyetalian wine butt off to South America already...... [img]http://205.243.144.43/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] - winoweenie - 06-06-2003 Boy do I SECOND that. Either go already or team up with Mattheau in the next Grumps. WW - Botafogo - 06-06-2003 Wow, maybe I should translate the Country classic "How can I miss You if you won't go away?" into Portogues???? All this begs the question: Why is HTML sometimes on and mostly off? The point of the net is links, yes? - Thomas - 06-06-2003 And if the html is usually off, how did IK manage to do the link in his example? - Kcwhippet - 06-06-2003 Well, he's one of those magical moderators. They can do anything. - Drew - 06-07-2003 It has something to do with some big, secret society. I've brought this up in the past and was sluffed off like a geek at a high school football game. Enable HTML...Enable HTML, woop,woop,woop,woop. Drew - winoweenie - 06-07-2003 Confirming Magical Modulator Powers I know I've answered a post at 5 in the AM and magically that afternoon Ik has answered the same post and his answer is posted before mine. 'Twernt there whenced I made mine in the AM?????WW [img]http://205.243.144.43/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] - Georgie - 06-08-2003 Dee,dee,dee,dee,dee,dee,dee,dee (Twilight Zone theme) - Jackie - 06-08-2003 I hate to demystify the Board, which is truly magical when you see how much congeniality surrounds the learning & sharing and sparing that goes on here... But the time clock thing was actually my doing... an experiment that went wrong. The timestamp should NOW be accurate. Do you want me to activate HTML in all forums? I'd like to know your thoughts, everyone. Jackie - Thomas - 06-08-2003 Jackie, looks like you got blue colors fixed, and the lightbulbs seem to be working correctly today. The only thing I do not get are color changes on the folders (or are they suitcases?) when others post on them. - Jackie - 06-11-2003 Foodie, Is it still happening? I fixed something today that should solve the problem (see Troubleshooting post). Let me know if it is still happening. Thanx |
