looks like that monkey is going to take care of his own testes without anyone’s help.

Thanx, BIt of irony there. I chose a Josephus pic first because it’s so cool, and also because I assumed it would fit within the 450pix-wide strictures. I didn’t even check.

I’m finding various tips strewn all around the forums, but no concise “how to play on the forums” thread. Any suggestions?

yes, hit reply to this post and then click on the Formatting
Guide link to the left. It is majorly useful.

damn bouncing threads!!!

Thanks again, STL,

Still testing

could you try that again, I couldn’t see it.

Testing the automatic link thing…

Pls continue to ignore…

not paying any attention.

Not quite, how about this?

More noob testing, move along…

these are not the images you are looking for.

Are you trying to make a link?
Try adding [ l i n k ] whatever you want [ / l i n k ]
I think, I’m not the one to ask, but our resident teacher is missing.

Qwerty someone needs help…come back!

We have a brick!

Yea but I want to know what kind of seweing maching can embroider that sucker!

Hey, that worked!

However, what confuses me is according to the formatting guide:

“Additionally phpBB features something called Magic Linkswhich will turn any syntatically correct URL into a link without you needing to specify any tags or even the leading http://. For example typing www.phpbb.com into your message will automatically lead to www.phpbb.com being output when you view the message.”

This is what seems not to work for me. Which should be no surprise, as I am just now tonight attempting first posts and reading through the instructions/tips.

Thanks for all your help. I am a complete noob at this, and am just in the beginning stage of figuring all this out.

<testing post edit thing now, which also doesn’t work as I expected>

BTW, this is stlwooters’s brick trophy from contest 107, which I would link you to if I knew how. It’s on page 4.

So, if you’re looking to waste time during the woot-off, how about giving me the step-by-step on how to link to stl’s brick on page 4 of contest 107?

Remember, the quicker I learn this, the sooner you don’t have to wade through my new guy stupid questions and posts.

PS… The reason stl’s brick didn’t win is that woot was leary of paying the shipping for all those brick trophies. (Josephus’s wood shower thing is much lighter)

I think they’re stick-ons

Testing link to stl’s brick

[link]http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=935789&PageIndex=4&ReplyCount=487[/link]

Ok, that linked the page containing stl’s brick, but not to the part of the page with the brick (it’s a long page).

Also, in the link everybody sees, how do I change the link name from “incredibly long url name” to “stl’s brick” ?

Please respond if bored during this woot-off, meanwhile I’ll continue to RTFM.

Thanx
