The ´HOW TO´guide to Mumsnet

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!

study Greek and understand hubris

Ignore anything that has a blue flower and a scent that little old ladies like.

lemonice · 11/07/2005 16:08

WWB I take issue there. Did you not post on just such a thread TODAY

hunkermunker · 11/07/2005 16:11

Can we draw a line under this thread, please. It's MN at its worst, IMO. Pip-pip! Hurrah!

Ah, shucks, caught again

The thread I was on only had one r though, so is excusable

MrsGordonRamsay · 11/07/2005 16:15

Do not invite your vile SIL around for dinner get pissed, pop on at the last minute to see if you have missed anything, and then suggest that a very upset woman might actually be old lady scent

MrsGordonRamsay · 11/07/2005 16:59
