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.

I stick with my last post on that one Jan

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

if in doubt wait and see

Babydancing means SEX!

Sorry some newbies never seem to get that.

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

fastsleep i'll flirt with you if you like

OhhhHHhhhh so that's why you say 'x' ahhhhh!

never ever use the phrase 'baby dancing' on a thread that I am on

...ah to be a real mod...

lou I'm always flirting with you m'dear I have lots of scarlet letters... but this heat is frying my brain, I might have to go soon before I start babbling absolute c*ap (as if I haven't already)

Dont' EVER do this

Enid I never said I liked the term babydancing, I just get fed up of people asking what it is! And I so wanted an opportunity to yell 'SEX!'

.........................................Why

Eww don't mix the word cheese with that thought of babydancing... err.

oooh I dislike bd as a term too. Yuk.

you have to be more obvious fastasleep i havent noticed!

.......as in 'let's draw a line and nobody else post'

I never really got 'babydust' you should see some other sites! 'Blessing from the pregnancy fairy to you my darling...'

I can't type anymore I'm melting
