Hello!

Tink,

Wow, I'm impressed that I got you to post a message! LOL!

Heaven help me now.........

for everyone

 

A spellchecker would be great I know, but the only one available right now is too buggy to install. I'll keep an eye out for one though

 

Ok ladies,

This is in reply to Tink's message above but applies to anyone. Because we can't reply to a specific person in here there are a couple of things you can do.

1) If you're reading a message that you want to reply then reply to it using the little "Quote" button at the bottom right of the specific message. That will quote the message you are answering in the reply window and you then hit the enter/return key and post your reply underneath.

2) If you're replying to several people in one message, which happens a lot in technical forums, then you can use the '@' sign. For example:
@Tink - answer
@Tegan - answer

3) If someone that you really want to see your message hasn't replied and you don't feel you know them well enough to send them a private message (some people don't like these) then post a message in Section You've Got Mail - put their name as the subject and we'll have to teach people how to check there on a regular basis.

Whew, if you find other ways then jump in and post them.
:bike:

 

Hi, Tink good to see you on line : )

 

Ok as you can see from this message I've deleted a part of yours plus split my quotes into two.

What you do is hit the "Quote" button to reply which will show you the entire message in the reply box. Delete the part you don't want/need to reply to. Ok now if you want to separate parts of your reply like I have with this message you need to use the quote tags in the square brackets. For instance the whole quote is within these tags (minus the spaces but it won't let me do it without them) [ quote ] ending in [ /quote ] so you would need to add [ /quote] at the end of the first quote then open the next one with [ quote ] etc. If this doesn't make sense hollar and I'll try to explain it better.

That's the one drawback of this software - there is no way to address a message to a specific person. What you can do is click on "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread and from there choose "Subscribe" which will then send you an E-mail every time a message is posted in that thread.

OR

From that same place you can add the thread to your "Favourites" which in turn will add a new drop down link in the Navigation Bar at the top where it will store all your favourite threads. In addition to this you can add an individual message to your "Favourites" by clicking on the red heart icon, far left at the bottom of the message.

Clear as mud? <g>

 

Hey cool, I didn't realise that either. Well you live and learn.

:RaRaRa:

 

Ummmm Teg? Check out what you did in the "Honesty" thread LOL! I think you used << and >> and in this software anything in the middle of those disappears
:elephant:
