How do you make a hyperlink?

First you have to create an area to post your message just like normal. This can be either a Reply, or a New Topic.

Once you are in the Message area you press the

<a>

button.

Example Screenshot

The forum system will now ask for an URL and a title.

The URL is the link. Like http://tbo.com, or whatever it is you want to link to.

The title is the name you give it, which could be the same as the link if you want. In the link I just posted I chose “Example Screenshot” to be the title for my link to a picture.

Admittedly

<a>

is less than intuitive. It refers to the html standard code

<a href="http://media.tbo.com/photos/trib/2007/june/0610frm2.jpg">Example Screenshot</a>

Which isn’t the way the forum software does it by default anyway.

Hey Jim, I have a question: how do you add a new forum? Is that something only administrators can do? I’d like to see a Tennis forum under Sports.

New forum creation is restricted to administrators. At this time the sports team wants to keep it to the team pages. But you can create New Topics in the general sports forum about tennis. A Daily tennis wrapup?

If it starts getting alot of traffic that would be a good argument for a tennis forum.

Something like this maybe?

I though you asked to have your account pulled.

Brother if you go back to the answer I gave you in answer to your question you’ll see that I stated it was just a question “inquiring minds need to know”. Are they in space somewhere?

The account is indeed gone, and the posts with it.

Some other people have PM’d me and asked to have their accounts pulled. So I pulled their accounts.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I can’t restore the posts on a deleted account. I thought that was what you wanted. My mistake.

After we figure this out, I am going remove most of this from the “How To Use TBO.com Forums “ thread, and enter a shortened version that I hope will be helpful to anyone with these concerns.
I want to keep this thread as tight as possible.

If you want to talk about this more you can either PM me, or start a new thread in the FAQ area. Input is always appreciated.

I got an email stating that I had a private message here.
So I went to my control panel.

The Private Message “tab” seems to be inactive.

I just checked this in a test login and as admin. PM seems to be working. If you are still having problems, post here again. Please include what browser you are using.

I have sent and received PM since this post.
