Ben,

Op die onderste taskbar, soos wat jy na jou eie plasing sal kyk of enige ander een se plasing, sal jy die volgende funksies aan die regterkant sien...

Edit Post - Reply - Reply With Quote - Blog this Post

Klik op 'Reply With Quote' en jy sal outomaties 'n persoon aanhaal. Kyk nou na dele wat jy spesifiek wil quote en copy & paste net dit wat jy sien met die aanvanklike quote. So kan jy sin vir sin aanhaal, sou dit nodig wees. Jy moet dit egter met die hand doen, een vir een. Die groot quote wat jy aanvanklik doen is vir die hele plasing. .

Dankie CFJ!!!!!!!

Jy's 'n Yster!

Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how this works. Especially, is there a way to create a signature to go with one's posts?

Hi Ben ek weet nie asof jou vraag al geantwoord was nie maar daar is nie so funksie sover ek weet nie. Jou belangrikste karakters gaan alt+136 (ê), 137 (ë) of 138 (è) wees. Alternatief as jy Microsoft word het verkieslik 2003 en op dan kan jy van sy symbols af "copy". Ek gebruik daai opsie nou en dan as ek nie 'n spesifieke karakter kan onthou nie. Anders Google ASCII codes dit sal vir jou 'n meer defnitiewe alt+(nommer) opsie gee.

Go to your settings button on top of the page from there you can go to signature although there is a prerequisite for that you need to be active for at least 7 days which you are, but you have to have at least 10 posts, which you don't. This is for the moderators to see if you are a spammer, bot or an "active or human" member you are judged by what you post.

I hope that helps

Ben at the bottom of each post in the right bottom corner, you'll see reply With Quote. Click the black 'quotation' mark and then when you hit the 'REPLY' button, the quote will be there.

You can delete any of the quote that you don't want to discuss or leave the whole thing.

Also, you can pull something up from anywhere and use the last button at the top of each post, the one that shows it in a quotation mode. (That is above each post, its an icon that puts what you typed in quotations.) For example, if you want to 'quote' a reply you have made, you can copy and paste it and then highlight it and hit the icon. That would put it in quotes.

This is a good place to practice any of that so you get used to using these tools. Hope this helps.

How do I get to upload a custom avatar? All I can do is the one's that are already there.

[Indueseason]

I think you should be able to do it after you have been a member for a week, and have more than ten posts.

blessings to you

How do I get to upload a custom avatar? All I can do is the one's that are already there.

Not to be rude but it is in the frequently asked question threads, but to answer your question.

How can I get a custom avatar?
To receive the option of getting custom avatar you will first have to meet three guidelines. Be on the forum for at least 7 days, have 10 or more posts, and have a reputation greater or equal to 0. If you meet these requirements you may do the following: Click on UserCP from the upper-left corner. Click on "Edit Avatar" and scroll down to the section titled, "Custom Avatar." You have two options of getting a custom avatar. You may use one that is already uploaded to another server by placing the URL of the image in the "Enter Avatar URL" field or you may upload your own by clicking, "Browse" and navigating to the avatar. Please note that your avatar has to be no greater than 100 (width) x 150 (height) pixels and no greater than 19.5KB (whichever is smaller) or it may be resized automatically by software

Thanks for the help Guys. I've got a whole new issue today

When I create a table in MS Word with stuff in it, and I try to copy and paste it into a reply to a thread, it comes out like a list! It has caused me endless stress and yearnings for Vallium.
Can somebody please save me from this nightmare?

Interesting... This is the first forum i know of that you can add tables on. If you go to the "Advanced options" you can add a table manually. If you make a new thread then you should be in the advanced options box where you can choose smilies and a lot of other things, if you want to reply to a thread then use the reply with quote button that would give you the same options. You can then try to copy your text individually from there. It would take longer but it will work, I will experiment a little later with this and if i find some easier way i will come in to tell you. Slightly irrelevant question what MS word do you use?

The tables button you are looking for is below the bold B button on the left. I hope this helps even if it is a temporary fix.

Hi Ferdinand
Daai "Advanced options" se "Add Table Manually" is te gevorderd vir my. Ek het so 4 keer probeer en opgegee! Dit was besig om my te beroof van my rustigheid!
Ek het Windows 7, so ek vermoed dis die MS Word wat daar in is? Ek is redelik tegnologies gestrem, kom jy seker agter
Ek het al die tabel probeer in plak in "reply", "reply with Quote" en "Advanced options". En elke keer word die Tabel....'n lys! En ek gryser!
Miskien "Copy" ek die Tabel verkeerd in MS Word? Ek Highlight al die inhoud en "right Click"-Copy. Is die fout dalk daar?

[Ferdinand Venter]

Wat ek probeer verduidelik het is\was: Jy maak die rye en kolomme fiesies op die forum dan selekteer jy die text wat in jou tabel is "copy" dit en "paste" dit in jou "reply\thread". So tegnies vat jy nie alles nie net die text; dit kan 'n lang dradige process raak veral as jy baie kolomme het. As jy nog steeds nie reg kom nie sal ek probeer om dit beter of op 'n ander manier te verduidelik.

Kom ons se jy het 5 rye van kolomme en 4 rye in daai 5 rye dan lyk dit so

... Ok nou verstaan ek wat jy bedoel, jammer ek het daarvan vergeet. TD is jou tabel kolom en TR is jou tabel ry. Jy gaan jou text so invoer. [t d]hello....[/td] *haal die eerste spasie uit by td. Dit gaan text in die eerte blokkie sit en so gaan jy aan. Jammer ek weet nie hoe om dit makliker te verduidelik nie maar die is "HTML code" in kort dit is wat 'n web blad 'n web blad maak

Hello

As jy nog steeds nie verstaan nie kan jy in my "reply with quote" kyk hoe die voorbeeld lyk (hoopelik werk dit). Net nog iets as jy 'n "table style" moet kies, kies "full grid" dit maak die tabel sigbaar.

Ek hoop dit help al is dit net 'n bietjie.
