I have a few annoying computer questions - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Cashodeen · 03-12-2004, 11:02 PM

If anyone wants to answer just 1 or 2 of the 3 questions, that's cool. Hopefully I can figure out how to do these things once and for all.

1. how does one post a previous picture as part of a quote?

2. How do I post a website by putting another name in it's place? Example-- say I want to put " http://www.sitcomsonline.com is the greatest" but instead of having it show up like that I have it saying " This website is the greatest," where the words "This website" would be the blue part you click on.

3. Is there any way I can remove something from my "tools" button?

Well, I can definitely answer #2.

When you post a URL, it'll ask you first what text you want to appear. Then it'll ask you for the site. If you type in "This website" first, it should show up with the proper link. For example:

This website is the greatest.

Hope that helps.

No problem.

Sorry I couldn't answer the other two, though.

you could right click on the image and copy the image location, then manually put it in the quote with the [img] tag , but when you see it in people's quotes, it depends on whether the image was an attachment or a link

It's a picture of The Yardbird--it's in my town next to an old shopping centre. I think of it as ~our landmark~. Lol, the thing's goofy as hell.

File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help -- those things (what are they called?) In Tools I don't like Window's Messenger being there. It's there to stay though, isn't it?

Copy the image location... hmm. Now, why can't I do that when I right click?

Right-click anywhere on it and click on "Customize". You can remove the button from there.

Right-click....Click on properties...Highlight the URL that you see in the "URL" field there...then copy it, and you can post it here.

(with IMG tags, of course)

I goofed. I meant to say in TOOLS (next to File, Edit, and all those) where it has "internet options," "encarta Encyclopedia" and those things--I want to get rid of where it says "windows messenger."

(How did my name come up as "Miss Vicky" in your reply to me?

)

Anyhoo...I gotcha...I see it now...Yeah, it's pretty much there to stay.
