YCCMB Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I have not, for the last several years (yes, years) been able to use the link button on here (I manually type the "brackets-URL" thingy every time)My quotes have now gone haywire, I've got the midget box for typing replies and I can STILL only guarantee getting back on here if I refresh the screen when there isn't an "r" in the month....It's a good job I haven't anything even vaguely useful to contribute.

cooperlola Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 [quote user="You can call me Betty"] It's a good job I haven't anything even vaguely useful to contribute. [:)][/quote]This I don't believe.Tip : Manually type the smiley face symbol :) in square brackets [] and the smiley face should pop up. [:)]Similarly, if you type in: quote user=" name of quotee here, no space before and after quotation marks " in sqare brackets and end with /quote in square brackets, then it should appear as any other quote, e.g. :[quote user="cooperlola"] this is how you do it [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachapapa Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 [quote user="Loiseau"]QUOTE ... I suggest using IETab add-on (Internet Explorer simulator), which gives FF the usual editing functions, smilies and a large reply box...
