RobertBeard Posted 3 April 2003 Share Posted 3 April 2003 I just wrote a wonderfull contribution but got stuck at the end 'cos I haven't sorted out how to use the new site yet properly! I went for "Help" and when I got back my carefully written and lenghty piece had gone! In future I will write offline and save it and then paste it up on the forum when I'm ready to post it! By the way how do I get to use the emoticons at the bottom of the page and put them in the right place? What is pinning all about? Oh to be an anorak but I'd rather improve my shooting!

neil Posted 8 April 2003 Share Posted 8 April 2003 Hi Robert, Sorry for the delay in replying... You say you looked at the help. Were you not able to use the back button to get back to what you had typed - I just tried and had no problems but it is not a fail safe method. If you are writing a long post, write it in a text editor (e.g. Notepad, Xemacs, Ultraedit), spell check it if you want and then copy and paste it into a message. As for the smilies, you can insert them anywhere in a post by either clicking on the "Clickable Smilies box to the left of where you enter your message OR you can use the shortcut characters (if you know them) e.g. ": D" gives , ": )" gives (there should be no space inbetween the colon and "D" / ")" Oh and pinned messages are ones that are deemed important and are thus placed at the top of the forum so as to be easily seen. Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
