I never thought I was dense before . . . but I am when it comes to the code stuff. I have used the tutorial (thank you!), but I really need it step-by-idiot-step. When I tried it, it didn't work. I may be typing literally what you have when I should be inserting the particular instance, I can't remember the copy/paste keyboard commands (complete Window interfacer here), etc. I appreciate your work very much and all the people here who have helped me and not laughed loud enough for me to hear them all the way in California!!!

I want to post a picture within my forum question. i have a jpg on my desktop, i'd like to attach. Is this even possible?
Thanks

Nope, you'll need to post it somewhere on the internet. If you don't have a website or a membership here, there are a number of free hosting sites.

The simplest way to put a clickable thumbnail for a DPC image in the forum is to take note of the image ID, then when adding your message click the last icon above the text box, enter the image ID when requested, click ok and you're done. No need to get the url.

The url is only required if posting from another site.

Next question:

How do you embed a clickable email address using forum code tags? I can't seem to find the right tag. I have tried 'mail', 'email', 'mailto' and 'url', however none work and the url tag adds // in front thereby ignoring any mailto: protocol.

You don't.

I've seen it in some people's dpc prints bio, so how do you do it?

I did not know it can be done... might want to PM one of them and ask. ;-)

I found it.

The tag is [email]. I believe the format is {email}user@host{/email}. Of course you will want to replace the {} with [].

Incidentally you might want to check out the new forum search feature if you haven't already... I found this answer by searching for "mail link forums."

As you compose a post, there's a checkbox to "show signature." You create the signature line on your preferences page. Try to keep it brief/no pictures.

Be aware that some people also exercise their option to hide the display of your (and all) signatures.

Just attempting a test-post to see if I got my signature working....very helpful tutorial!
 12/03/2004 06:21:25 PM · #41
sorry for another one - I just want to make sure I'm getting this right...
 12/03/2004 06:22:05 PM · #42
perfect - you're the best!
 12/03/2004 06:56:41 PM · #43
GeneralE, thank you for pointing out that we can hide signatures, I raced off to do that right away !!!
Edited to practice clickable thumbnails (just because I'm feeling brave). Oh boy, this looks weird...... can't wait to see if it really works, but thanks for the tutorial anyway, bod.
Here goes:

I'd like to that everyone for both the tutorial and the excellent help (the email tag was helpful).

I had a question though that I answered myself during this (my first) forum post:
What about Bold and Italic tags (specifically within the bios and signatures)?

For anyone that might ask that same question, its very much like using them in HTML -- just replace the "<" and ">" with "[" and "]". So you do the {b}bold{/b} or {i}italic{/i} (where the "{" and "}" are "[" and "]").
 02/19/2005 07:01:49 AM · #45
Of course I messed up the email tag in my signature on that last post.
 02/19/2005 08:08:24 AM · #46
You can also put those two together for Bold Italic. A few others you might not be aware of (remove the spaces in the leading tags to get them to work):

[b ][ i][/b][/i] Bold Italic
[strike ][/strike] Strike through
[u ][/u] Underscore
02/19/2005 03:45:08 PM · #47
Excellent! Thanks!

[b ][ i][/b][/i] Bold Italic

This will work in all cases I know of, but "proper form" is to nest the tags rather than overlap them... like this:

[b ][ i][/i][/b] Bold Italic

It is theoretically possible for a browser to not support the overlapped tags.

Thanks for the correction.

No problem. I spent WAAAAY too much time hand-coding web pages in the HTML 1.0 days (back when NCSA Mosaic was the only web browser). At the time one had to be very particular about semantics when coding, or pages would break.

Most browsers today, fortunately, are much more forgiving.
