or

aussie is a dick

Hooray ... thanks guys

Yay!!!!!.....but I would not use it too often. As I mentioned, most here do not recognise/realise you have embedded the link, and then ask that you ................ provide the link. Hence, as you will have seen....I reverted back to the Click here, option.

Got it. Thanks Aussie.

Yeah.....but for the last 30 minutes, this Forum (almost) did not load.

I thought that was just my PC !

It is still pretty dicky. Jumps around a tad before settling. Easy to tell Mr Smith. Just try to link any of your other favourite sites, and if they all fail....then it is your problem, But if they fire..............it is a problem here.

all the lights on my modem were dancing like crazy so I'm pretty sure it was my CRAP TELSTRA INTERNET CONNECTION ...

FYI....freediver...............

Not here, and I'm BigPond as well. The only places I could not (readily) access were here....and to test.............PA. Every other site was no problem.

You know I know jack crap about these matters, but even I know there is a problem..............server wise here. You keep resisting an acknowledgment of that.

Why not move and upgrade the capacity of the 'server?'

Its standard in most forums but when i did it here i was told i was "secretive" and "directing ppl to who knows where". Apparently there are dolts here that think you shouldnt do it that way.

SOB

There's nothing secretive about it.

When you hover the cursor arrow over the hyperlink, the complete url is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Yeah i know - its completely rediculous but well apparently in this forum you are expected to not do that

Cut and paste the url, leave a space and type the text you want, then highlight both and click the "Insert Hyperlink" symbol on the top left. Easy. Spot - Help is your friend. Find it on the menu. The Section you want is YaBBC Reference under Posting.
