Well, since Ben made some changes some things don't work how they used to so we've all had to learn new ways of doing things through hit and miss.

I thought it would be a good idea to create this thread as a resource of information that we can all share and help one another as we still learn how to do some things a bit differently like posting youtube links or posting thread links for instance.

I'll be adding more helpful hints as I come across any.

It would save a lot of people from reaching for that bottle of extra strength tylenol

How to post a thread or other links

• Add [the code --> url] in front of thread link
• Add thread link after [the code ---> url]
• Backspace after the last digit of the thread link to get rid of the underlining of the thread link.
• And then add the [the code ---> /url] at the end of the thread link. There should be no underline.

And your thread will show up after you post it. And when it's posted it will have the usual underline showing then, so don't be alarmed. Then click on the link to check it.

Took me a bit to figure this out

How to post a youtube link

• Copy your youtube link past it into typing area
• Add the code [youtube] in front of your youtube link
• Backspace at the end of the youtube link to get rid of the underline
• Add the code [/youtube] at the end of the link
• Post youtube and voila!!

ok

If you mean like some pic off of Google. eg http://farm2.static.flick...b5e6c1.jpg

Put [img] before the link. Back space once after the "p" in jpg at the end of the link to get rid of the underline. Then put [/img] at the end of link.

If you don't backspace once to get rid of the underline, the pic won't show. You can click preview to see how it will show up when you post.

I'll give it a try

Thanks

I'm just testing. I thought I had an insert link up above when I first started posting here regularly again, but it seems to have completely disappeared. I was about to ask a Mod about this very thing. Hope it works...

Edit one, because I'm an idiot.

Ahhh super coolness! It worked.

Now if I could just figure out why I don't have spellcheck in my forum posts anymore, but DO have it in my Orgnotes.

Hello,

Is it me or my PC or do links to the org that one posts on the org get mangled so that they no longer point to the intended content on the org?

Also:

Is there a way to not load the fancy editor? Not load the facebook ornaments?

I see all tpes of sites being contacted when openign a page or even starting a reply, aside from the org site itself. is that really necessary?

The snappy speed is really gone now.

Thanks for really looking into this.

And what about the link-function in the editor?

Even though we got the fancy editor we have to do this?

Can't the editor be fixed?

What actually goes wrong?

What about the snappiness of it all?
