Additionally, since we weren’t all born on the computer, I’ll add this. Not that you have to use it, but if you see it, you’ll know what is meant:

:) means smile, happy
:( means sad, depressed
;) means wink
:D means big grin or laugh
:P means tongue out, happy, or being silly
:-* means kiss
:O means surprised, shocked
:/ means uncertain
:| means waiting, indifferent
:S means smirk
>:( means angry
:-? means confused
:’( means crying

And an important rule of web etiquette…
CAPITAL LETTERS MEANS YELLING OR SHOUTING!

You can make fire by rubbing 2 sticks together too… :| ;)

Thanks Mark, I just printed out all the codes
above so I know what to do now. Kevin posted
on a different site in his reply a :D, I was sure
that meant that his typewriter keys were stuck,
now I now it means big grin.

Mark, I want that pussy cat.

, I want that pussy cat.[/quote]

Right click the pussy cat and chose properties.

Your pussy cat is at the address (URL)

Kevin, I have no idea how to do that, even with
all that info. My son-in-law comes here over
3 times a week just to fix what I screw up on my laptop. I am really pathetic when it comes to
computers – I don’t even remember how I changed
my avatar with Paul/Murray’s help.

But, I am real good on photoshop, I practiced
that for about 8 months, and now I do okay.

[font=Verdana][color=green]Anything about changing the color or font style of your text?[/color][/font]

See…It doesn’t work using basic HTML!?

Mark thanks for doing that, you are the man. I drew up a model of a vibrating/vacuum table for prototyping a while ago but didn’t know how to put it in a post.

Toni, put your pointer over the picture and right click. in the menu, click “save picture as”. This will pop up a folder on your computer, pick where you want to save it, type a name for it, click save. Now you have the picture.
Next, click the “my page” link at the top of the screen. Under the generic girl picture, click the edit button. click “change photo”. Go through those steps and you’ll have a new avatar. If you get lost, let me know. :)

We only have “strong”/“b”, “em”/“i”, and “img” tags enabled.

Without giving us too much power, can you turn on the quotes? I get confused easily. :)

WHAT ???

Thanx Lake!

Toni, your son-in-law will explain :)

Congrats toni, nice picture. :)

Mark, I did half and then got in trouble so I
ran over to my daughter’s house and she fixed it
for me. I love this pussycat – he makes me smile. I’ll give him back to you when I get my
kid to upload pics of my pets. His name is Rocky

Thanks, Mark

I thought I would add to Mark’s definitions of the emoticons we all use with some others that I have found much more ‘expressive’ lately!

<img src=“”http://onecastcreative.com/test.gif"">http://onecastcreative.com/test.gif">

Hey Chris…
1) Remove the space between the < and the img and then add your URL
2) Highlight the code and then paste into a reply box

< img src=“AddYourUrlHere” />

< img src=“http://onecastcreative.com/test.gif” />

Third time is the charm Chris… You are doubling up the URL as well as adding too many commas and leaving out the /> at the end. As well there should be a space between the last comma and the back splash my friend

EN is doubling it. I will post what you sent…

<img src=“http://onecastcreative.com/test.gif”/>

Just add an < at the begining of the following code…

img src=“http://onecastcreative.com/test.gif” />

Okay, I just used my bionics on my computer.

how very odd it seems that sometimes it works and others it does not…

Go back here and follow these directions

http://getsatisfaction.com/some.html

1) Highlight the code for the image and copy
2)Open your Wordpad or Notepad and paste
3)In the place of “/images/apple-touch-icon.png” alt=“apple touch icon” place your URL

“/images/apple-touch-icon.png” alt=“apple touch icon”
to
“YourURL”

4)Highlight and copy the entire code
5)Paste into the reply box

Okay, I had it all along, but FF screws with the text. I opened up IE and it worked. I guess I have a reason for IE now. Thanks for putting up with me.

I am using FF and it seems to work fine. It is copying from EN which causes the extraneous code to come along with the paste… ;)

So as long as you have the code in a wordpad or notepad document all you need to do is replace the URL

No worries my friend… I have spent days helping people build their websites from around the world…

I have a drive to reach the final step in everything ;)

Codes which work from that page

Bold
I am bold
I am bold

Italics
I am italicized
I am italicized

It is always the little things that cause the biggest problems. A small lesson learned today.

At least we doubled the length of this old thread. Perhaps others will learn from this small trial.

Thanks Mr. Ed.

Now you are stuck with having to leave that image in your websites file folder so that it does not disappear and leave everyone wondering what we were doing because if the image was deleted then it is not available to be seen.

I have a site specifically for them ;)

I do want to pass along to all those who use these codes to include images to their posts that if you simply use a URL to an image you found on the web somewhere that it is in fact in a way stealing that image owners bandwidth and they are each time the thread is opened and viewed using their precious resources and sometimes money. It does not seam like much when it is done once but just imaging if it is done tens of thousands of times in one month to one image. Depending on the size of the image that can be many Gigs of costly resources for that website owner.

I had it happen to me many times with my websites and thank God I had unlimited bandwidth or I would have been looking for that person in China and India to say “Please don’t do that” In web builders circles it is simply good manners. I have all my images on one of my websites and link to them from there. If you wish you can see my Honey Bear Playhomes website and click the “Build a free website” button to build your own website and host your own image files.

http://honeybearplayhomes.synthasite.com/

No problem. That is a domain that I only use for email, so they can reside there. Oh, and who says I leave the image the way it was :)

Hey Chris I was surely not talking to you about the hotlinking as I knew you knew about that. I was simply informing those that did not… ;)

For those who don’t wish to make a website then here is an alternate option you can use if you have the images saved to your computer. Simply sign up for a free file hosting account here and you can upload and hotlink (just like copying the URL to an image online) to your images.

http://www.hotlinkfiles.com

I just placed one of my purchased images from one of my websites in my hotlink files there to show that it does work.

P.S. Chris funny picture change… Hmmm really nice switcharoo

I almost forgot…

You can as well simply use Photobucket, upload your pictures and link to your image URL there…

”how very odd it seems that sometimes it works and others it does not…”

              
”No, no, no, seriously! It’s like what Mr. Ed said, “…sometimes it works and others it does not.” Are y’all screw’n with me, man? Yeah, I’m experiencing nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea and/or other unusual symptoms…So, what da hell’s that suppose to mean?! I told y’all from the beginning, I want to go totally Holistic on this one, nothin’ unholy or unnatural…My colon deserves R-E-S-P-E-C-T, man! It demands it!!"

Holy smokes Batman that is enough to make me laugh my pants off…

I will give you that cause I don’t feel there is any safe way to top it in this forum. LOL

Hold on there Mack! Calm down and we’ll give your colon the respect it deserves. We’re dispatchin’ a technician to your house ASAP. He will THOROUGHLY inspect your toilet bowl and recommend further treatment.

Me put wheels on that house of yours…
