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!

On the ttc thread we use baby dancing - prehaps they prefer it to shagging,humping,screwing,boning ect

[fishfinger]

[charleepeters]

[WideWebWitch]

[MrsGordonRamsay]

[charleepeters]

[fishfinger]

[Papillon]

Visit a friend the other day and she opened the door wearing just a bikini. She put clothes on after breakfast when we went out

on reflection she could have stayed that way... we only drove around in the car!

[Papillon]

FF and FF are two different people

[okapi]

NEVER spend more than a couple of hours away from MN, or somehting will kick off and you will miss it

[fishfinger]

and theres ff too

[lemonice]

if you want to keep up learn to look out for fast moving active convos, where only one thread has loads of messages

[MascaraOHara]

Don't create posts with no words that consist purely of lines and lines of emoticons

Keep your posts titles succinct

Proceed knowing that MN is as addictive as smack

(okapi - soo true)
