Instructions for posting

August 23, 2007 8:31:00 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Is there a FAQ list for posting on the forums.  I have tried on numerous occasions to post image links and they simply come out as text you must copy into a browser.  Is there a way to script them so they act like a link and open a new browser tab, now even in IE, rather than the c&p routine?  Even better, is there a way to script them in html so the image is auto drawn from a remote site into the message.

There is an insert web link button on the editor menu bar (icon: small globe with chain link at bottom). Most users use an image host site like photobucket or imageshack and insert the web link using the button.

I do all my linking manually using html because I trust it better than the forums' bbcode. Links pasted into posts *should* automatically be made clickable but seems they haven't done that yet...

No worries Snap Hook. You found a need for a fix in DX. Insert Link and Insert Image work great you just hadn't noticed them before.

Often I find people have posted textual links that don't 'click'.

I edit the comment and simply add a 'space' to the end of the link text....and the link will then function.

Eg.....

What I have been doing is to type a word highlight it, then paste my page link into the insert link button, this changes it into a herf...then I can insert the description text. Then just bc ...... I add some color ...Quick & painless
