A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've never heard of css being used for that, but you're better off taking uestions like this to the technology thread.

Two queries -

1) How do I get to the search function? I can't find a link. I know the URL - [link] - but it doesn't help me, for after I type it out and click "GO", I get an error 404 - whatever that means, and "search" somehow dropped from the URL.

2) How do I post a link? Typing out >the URL

I can't answer your question about the search feature, but to make a link, type:

[a href="http://www.yourlinkhere.com"]underlined word indicating it's a link[/a]

only replace the [ ] with greater than / less than signs.

doesn't help, as it does on other discussion sites.

These two problems have stopped me using the site as I'd like to. I'd be grateful to be told how to deal with them

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Dai, it's .php, not .phb - could that be the problem?

For pasting links, I ususally just copy the sample from the 'how-to' page and paste in the address and name I want. t /lazy

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Dai, the search link ends in php, not phb.

As for a link (I hope this works):

t a href="http://www.yourlink.com" text here t /a .

I edited so a facsimile of the code would show up.

I can't figure out how to make the actual correct code appear--anything I put in angle brackets is automatically stripped.

Edit: Hil! How did you do that?!

OK, Dai, if you just want to link with the URL, without bothering with the link text, just type it in, with the "http" at the beginning, like [link] . You don't need the bracket at the beginning.

Entities Jen -- instead of the actual "less than" sign, type < (because the real one gets stripped out)
