I've just look - I'm sure those instructions have changed??? haven't they

zippitippitoes · 14/12/2007 14:29

tis a little harsh to be upset with them babe..xxxx

TheIceQueen · 14/12/2007 14:29

I sure it used to be

\link {address you want to link to \ description if wanted } (without the spaces.....

5GoldenFIMBOs · 14/12/2007 14:29

Perhaps they don't realise the instructions have been made simpler. There is another way to do links and tbh the instructions in the box were a bit gobblidgook until you had the lightbulb moment!

pinktinselanddollymixtures · 14/12/2007 14:29

lol, i am hopeless, i could read the instructions 10 x over and still not get it. But then i've never asked how to do a link, i would just get dh to do it for me

TheIceQueen · 14/12/2007 14:30

wow when did they change???

just testing

TwinklyfLightAttendant · 14/12/2007 14:31

I think harsh, it took me about 7 months to realise the instructions were there, and another month to work them out. It's called not being very confident with a computer.
I bandy them around these days, but would hate to think people were pissed off with me before. I always said sorry if I coudn't do it.

TheIceQueen · 14/12/2007 14:31

actually that's more complicated - old instructions were easier (IMO)

littleboo · 14/12/2007 14:31

yes think yabu im humble o. i put this just now, actually my own fault had not looked at bit below, sure it never used to be there, What "i" meant was didn't have any good examples either to show

orangehead · 14/12/2007 14:31

I now know how to link but didnt at first and have typed this a few times, but I am a bit thick when it comes to computers

ChubbyStuckForAFestiveNameBurd · 14/12/2007 14:31

"enter the link itself, surrounded by and "

Then lovely Tech has even given an example!

We are intelligent women, we can do this!

YABU!

TheIceQueen · 14/12/2007 14:32

ooooo - this isn't about littleboo's lovely help on my style thread is it - she's been so helpful (and tbh having looked for google images of for examples myself - I'm not surprised she couldn't link to anything!)

ChubbyStuckForAFestiveNameBurd · 14/12/2007 14:33

fair enough - you go back to grumpy - and I'll continue twiddling my thumbs waiting for DS3 to wake up so I can

a) get started on getting the Christmas decorations up with DS1 and DS2

b) try and find something to wear tonight

ChubbyStuckForAFestiveNameBurd · 14/12/2007 14:35

That's a whole other thread littleboo, one for the pedants!

Oh, I know.

I bet posters who say "I can't do links, sorry" have a shared email address with their DH (or one that combines their DCs names) too.

littleboo · 14/12/2007 14:37

yes chubby, I wouldn't even venture there , not without being armed and dangerous. Cheer up chubby, put on a christmas CD and play it loud.{smile]

TheIceQueen · 14/12/2007 14:37

I can do links - but have a shared email address with DH so NERRRRRRRRRR

AwayInAMunker · 14/12/2007 14:38

Oh, good lord, so you do, QoQ!

I would loathe that SO much!

littleboo · 14/12/2007 14:38

away, I don't have a shared address or name
