I agree: I like the '' HTML code as well for the reasons you described

I just felt a jet plan zoom over my head twice

Hello..? ..anyone home..?

Yes, even after all the above posts, WE still see posts in AliPac that are too LARGE..

..even on the Hompage..!

Hmm.. is the object of the game to SPEED paste..?



..or to take a FEW moments to 'get it right'..?!

Here's a format to "hide" a link.
Paste your link onto page and highlight it. Click URL box above post.

http://www.alipac.us/ftopic-reply-104354.html

Take out left closing bracket and replace with equals sign. Place closing bracket after link in this case after html. Then enter any text for link between the two brackets.
Example:
ALIPAC THREAD

Nancy Pelosi

Clicked preview. It linked!!!! But still has the quote thing at end? I'm going to keep trying and/or ask for help as I really want to learn how to do this. I just wrote in computer code... Nevermind, I fixed it!

If you want it to read" NANCY PELOSI quote", the "quote has to be in the [/url] without the [/quote]

I just figured it out! When I quoted loserville's post the [quote] thing appeared at the end of the code and appeared (to me) to be part of it. Laughing at myself.

What a great new tool this is -but I'm glad it's a sticky. Will take awhile to memorize.

I enjoyed "Flor's Slideshow". Is THAT really a church?
