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 love lemonices contributions below.

or to be restrained
has the reverse effect on fish

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

I think screwing give as certain insouciance to prceedings

of course

You're all grown up now can't you just say 'sex'

don´t confuse WWW with WWB they are different people

LOL - me to DP rather grossly usues the wrd Boning whihc i think is vile

sex, screwing and shagging all allowed

Yay bikini action! I'm off too!

boning?!
Is he Beavis or Butthead?

No humping or f*king allowed then?

can't believe you spelt insouciance without a typo Ff!

But not with other MN ers hubands

Or if you are, don't be too obvious about it.

LOL its from American Pie! nasty word i know but hes formed a habit of saying it and it really gets on my nips!

you see sssssssspeshial words I can type

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!

FF and FF are two different people

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

and theres ff too

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

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)
