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!

MrsGordonRamsay · 12/07/2005 19:25

Who is the link manager ??

pinotgrigio · 12/07/2005 19:54

The top 5 rules are quite clear:

  1. Idolise Cod
  2. Try to get into the clique (but all the time make barbed comments about cliques)
  3. Don't write posts like teenagers texting
  4. Realise that custy is the antithesis of the architypal mumsnetter
  5. Know all the in jokes re grapes, lavender, cats, moderators, baby pasta, judges & flouncing.

dizzydo · 13/07/2005 23:06

Can one of you experienced hands tell me what it means when you say "cat" me and I'll send you details.

What does "cat mean" and how do you do it??????

What is the point of this thread? [angry}

MrsGordonRamsay · 13/07/2005 23:10

Contact Another Talker CAT

That link should work.

If you needed to ask or tell another poster some information offline basically.

Norash?!

MrsGordonRamsay · 13/07/2005 23:14

Norash

I think you will find it started out as a bit of fun, some people have posted genuine queries and these have been dealt with also.

What exactly has upset you??, it seems fairly harmless to me.
