Is this what you mean?

Yes, that is what I meant.

The way you have the coding set up looks right but the link itself is different.  In the above post here is your link for man vs lion:
http://www.flixxy.com/man-vs-lion.htm/index.php?board=15.0

In the lounge here is the link you used:
http://www.flixxy.com/man-vs-lion.htm

The extra index.php?board=15.0 is what is screwing it up.  It is the same thing for the dog video.  Try some random links in this thread to see if you can get a handle on it.

Like this ;)

Finally, I found the correct code, (guessed it in the end) but in most forums, you have already highlight the url you want to post as one word...ie LINK, then click on insert link already offered in the reply page, a box comes  up > paste > okay and it is all done in a minute for you....

It is good to learn new ways of course but time comsuming if you are in a hurry.

thanks for your patience and guidance here.

dickw,

in most forums, you have already highlight the url you want to post as one word

As you get to know the code's you will find it easier to just type them in or even copy & paste saved ones that you have in your notes.
I recommend that you save some of the ones that you are going to use on a regular bases ie: [*URL=http://www.landzdown.com]"LandzDown"[/URL*] = "LandzDown".

Yes, rest assured I have saved them.  :thumbsup:

[GR@PH;<'S]

dickw,
Just a little bit of advise just before you post click on the "Preview" to be sure that you make sure any links / images work.

[dickw]

GR@PH;<'S,

I always check after clicking 'preview' that my links work.   Have I posted any that do not please?.....except the two where I could not get them to work so you could pick up the code when clicking Quote on that particular reply of mine.

Nice to see you are making progress!

@that Dachshund toy link is adorable!

[dickw]

Thank you Ripley,

I have learned a lot here, folk are patient, friendly and will be back asking more questions when I find the need.  I would also like to post a couple of jokes, but am wary that they maybe not what is acceptable.  I have found with different cultures, what I may think a real hoot, others can think inappropriate............. :)

dickw,

Good wholesome clean jokes are always good to read  :hysterical:
But if you are not sure then may I suggest you pop it (them) in a PM to me and I'll let you know if it (they) are acceptable)

GR@PH;<'S,

What am I doing wrongly that I cannot get the picture attachment to transfer like yours and Numbnuts.

I click on Browse, highlight the saved jpg on my desktop, and only if I click post (does not attach in preview) does it attach to the reply in thumbnail format which is not want I want, I want it to look like yours.....    I will say this is the only forum I have any problems with in achieving these most simple of issues.

Do you give private lessons in graphics by any chance.  :help:
I will try again with this post to see if I can do any better...........

Tried with a different format and it worked a little better.

I recommend you try upoloading to a hosting site such as Photobucket

GR@PH;<'S   :Hammys pint:

[dickw]

Thanks for that, so easy when I can remember how, you prompted me.  I have an extensive photobucket folder, so here it is I hope -


Yes that worked, just had a mental block yesterday, thanks for the guidance :stupid:
