The ´HOW TO´guide to Mumsnet

[Papillon]

I think it is not more moderators that we require wink] but instead a group of stalwart MN oldtimers who can guide the newbies, the undoctrinated entrants into the world of MN Speak, MN Do and MN Be.

Now I am not claiming to be an oldtimer - 1 year is probably still fledgling so I will be boring and show everybody a method on ´HOW TO´do links

1. In the box on the lower right hand side of your screen are instructions for Links and emoticons Go there.
   
   
2. Using your mouse highlight the text \link{http://news.bbc.co.uk \ this}
   
   
3. Once highlighted Copy this text and paste it into the ´Add a Message´ box
   
   Take the website address that you wish to add and insert in plae of \link{http://news.bbc.co.uk \ this} (area to replace highlighted in bold)
   
   This is how I do it. My keyboard does not have { or \ so I find cut and paste easier. I had to add some gaps so that it would not just show as a link... make sure you have no spaces between letters and symbols.
   
   You can of course just type \link{ then add the website address and } to finish!

I think if MN Towers could have given us their detailed reasons it would not have looked at all daft.

Be aware that MN has its own terminology, not knowing it does not mean your ignorant... but rather that your not posting enough

[lemonice]

if in doubt wait and see

[fastasleep]

Babydancing means SEX!

Sorry some newbies never seem to get that.

[lemonice]

if you are grossly insulted check if it's a x post
rather than a cross post
