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!

hm - Actually lets hear it here - phonetic notation preferred

[Norash]

Jahn, who's talking to you? Did I ask you? Butt out.

[hunkermunker]

Norahs - say what you see, surely.

[hunkermunker]

M and N - you're a charming couple.

[lou33]

norash, seeing as this is a public thread i think it's acceptable for anyone to post, as long as they are not being rude/offensive/trolling/flaming

[Norash]

Hunker I thought someone just pointed out that this was meant to be light hearted?

[hunkermunker]

M and N are a double act. Comedy isn't their forte; belligerence might be.

[micha26]

M and N on MN, what a coincidence

[Norash]

Hey! Hey! Who's being rude?

[hunkermunker]

Ah - sorry, misunderstood the rules. You're allowed to be rude as all f*ck, but anyone else picks you up on it and it's "lighthearted". I getcha!

[lou33]

just replying to your message to janh

[Norash]

[nailpolish]

[micha26]

[hunkermunker]

[hunkermunker]
