Question about New Forum

Post by Lisa Strummer »

I was bored and decided to play around with my signature for the forum. There's no way to add images to our signatures? I read through the FAQs & the BBCode guide and didn't see any info on it. Just wondering...

This will be a dumb question i'm sure but...... I can get my links to work but cannot for the life of me figure out how to rename them (use the horses name as the clicky like you have Lisa) Any advice?

It's kind of a pain to do, if you hover over the URL link it shows you 2 ways to add links. I typed the second one and added the horse's name where it says "text" to get my horses names to link. BUT it doesn't seem to let you change the color of the name once you've made it a link, so I decided not to link my names. Did that help, Mac?

To add a link with nice, clickable text, you need to enter:

Code: Select all

That displays like this:

Second edit to change to color #FFBF40

Wish list
Alternate horses between jumps and flat.
Search for previous rather than current owners of horses.
Stallions year entered for stud duties.
Automated assistant trainers - sorted, kind of!
European claiming circuit.

Hmmmm I must have done it wrong, I'm not the most computer savvy person. Thanks Charles!
