    The last post in the Virgins going.....

    ....to Ashtons in the Social Events section on the forum is very funny - even if I did post it myself (however I was not the originator).

    If anyone has been to Stockholm much - or in the UK - it may make you laugh.........it made me

    Re: The last post in the Virgins going.....

    And can someone tell me how to include the link to another thread - as someone just pointed out that I didn't do it in the post above........and gave me a 'negative rep' ............

    I had a similar situation earlier today - and wrote that I needed some help with doing that being a newbie.............and I am still in the same position, so any help is greatly appreciated.

    You're looking for a piece of text something like this:
    http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/s...?t=SOME_NUMBER

    Just add it in in plain text and it'll work fine.

    Maybe it's the way I work...............let me explain:

    1. I write a post - maybe includes quote from previous etc....fine

    2. Then I realise I want to include a reference to a thread somewhere else in the forum.........

    3. How do I go out of that, find the thread post it back in - the only way I would see to do that is to open another instance of the Ceroc Forum - search through, then cut and paste the url like any other........is there a faster easier way?

    ..........and how do I find out who sent the rep to me as it seems to be anonymous.

    There's a bit in the FAQ about that....

    (Don't worry I would never give anyone a neg. rep. - I'm not sure why it is there.....especially if it is anonymous - it seems a bit like being in school - getting something wrong - getting your knuckles rapped.....very odd!)

    I would post a link to the question in the FAQ, but the answer there is rubbish!

    This is a three part problem...

    First – how do I post a link?

    Easy! type the text you want to turn into a link, select it and hit the wee world/link icon in the "toolbar" above the message composition box. Then paste in the URL. If you just want to give the URL, without putting it behind your own words, just paste it into your message – by default vBulletin will turn it into a link for you.

    Second – how do I post a link to another thread?

    Just visit the thread by clicking on its name in the list of threads – then copy the URL from the location bar in your browser and follow the instructions above.

    Third – how do I post a link to another post?

    There are two options here...

    If you just want to link to a single post, and not the post in the thread, then you can get the URL of the other post by clicking on the "#number" above and to the right of the post – that will open another window with that post alone in it, and you can copy the URL from it. Then follow the instructions above.

    If you want to link to a particular post in the context of the thread it is in, click on the "#number" above and to the right of the post – that will open another window with that post alone in it. Then click on the "Thread" link at the top, right of that window. It will take you back to the thread you want to link to, but starting at the post you're interested in. Copy the URL and follow the instructions above.

    Hope that helps.

    There's no faster way.

    You can become a silver member to find out who reps you.

    or you can guess or ask, most people who neg rep tend to do so for a reason and would be happy to pm you to discuss it

    Because they find it mildly entertaining?

    Presumably you're reading the other thread when you decide a link to it will be useful elsewhere. At that point in time, cut and paste the url into notepad or some such. Then it will be readilly available when you write the post where you require the url.

    The link is at the top of every page. Under help.

    If you look at it, you'll see that people choose to neg rep posts for a variety of reasons. You're entitled to use the rep system however you want. If it involves giving neg rep to helpful comments, then it's entirely up to you.

    There's also a search button at the top of the screen. That can be helpful at times, too.

    That's several hours of my writing life well-spent then. :more tears:

    Of course, if we titled it FAQ, then everyone would ask "Where can I find help information"...
