Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: wysiwyg Date: 11 Jun 01 - 12:59 AM Just use view/source to see how I did it. "pre" works pretty unpredictably. It did things it ought not to have done. *G* As do we all, in our turn! I still wanna make it better. *G* Sorch, maybe you can make the knickers fly up and blink! Maybe the whole answer is this (warning!!!!!):
~S~

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Sorcha Date: 11 Jun 01 - 12:34 AM Funnyfunny! I couldn't do better (and probably can't copy these--don't quite understand the pre stuff.) "and the Whizzy wrapped her knickers 'round the flagpole" ROFLMAO!!! |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: wysiwyg Date: 11 Jun 01 - 12:22 AM OK. It all started in e-mail. Sorcha and I were discussing how to award high-flying, flag-festooning knickers to a thread or a post. An good-humored alternative, slightly mnore expressive, to the frowny face or smiley face emoticons.... in wordless comment. Sorcha came up with one that worked in e-mail, but it indicated clean drawers. I thought we should have it both ways and wondered how to indicate indeterminate schmutz.. So:
... would be a set of dirty knickers flown to express good-humored disapproval... indicating, as it were, dirty knickers awarded. And this:
... would indicate squeaky-clean knickers flown in approval... granted, as it were, in salute. Sure hope they turned out right, and that Sorcha agrees with my description of the way they came to be! Your turn, bes/bud! ~S~ |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: wysiwyg Date: 11 Jun 01 - 12:06 AM Not done yet. Still making it RIGHT. Certainly planning to credit you when I think it merits attribution, darlin'. Then YOU say what it is!

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 10 Jun 01 - 08:59 PM Jeri Thanks for telling me that,I was wondering for a few days I gussed at "Back to work" but that didnt seem to make sense,so Im glad I asked.Im learning more about this stuff every day,and really enjoying it.john |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Jeri Date: 10 Jun 01 - 01:30 PM Roger, that's how they do it. It would be good if they checked the FAQ for their answers first. The same people who are answering questions here are the ones who do it in the Help Forum. None of us (that I'm aware of) dress up in monster suits on the Help Forum. :-) Re two users, I just read through the FAQ, and yes, it's there. Under "Benefits of Membership" see "Duplicate Membership." If Gill has a separate e-mail address from Sam (and Graham - I think he still has a cookie here), it's no problem. She can just log out, then click on "Membership" and register herself with her own e-mail address. If she has the same e-mail address, the only solution I know of is for her to use a different brower. |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 10 Jun 01 - 01:14 PM Jeri If you promise the elves are friendly and won't frighten people off - I will point towards the help section. I suppose they just click the 'Report an error........' link and pose a question? Jon the question I asked about two users.........is answered in the Mudcat FAQ (sorry ), is that egg on my face?? |
|
Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Jeri Date: 10 Jun 01 - 12:41 PM Roger, the Help Forum would be the best place to refer people for questions about how Mudcat works. The FAQ is also very good. I don't read the HTML threads very often, and I do read the Help Forum several times a day. I suspect others are the same. There isn't much discussion on the Help Forum because we tend to focus on answering questions or fixing things. If we need to work something out, we will. It's more business-like, but hopefully still friendly. John in hull, "BTW" is short for "by the way." |
|
Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 10 Jun 01 - 12:22 PM Does anyone know what BTW means please? Ive seen a lot of people use it esoecialy at the end of their message.thanks .john |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 10 Jun 01 - 08:00 AM I just think it can be quite intimidating for new people coming along if they don't get a 'personal' response from someone. It would be a terrible thing to accidently exclude people simply because they haven't yet learned some basics. So is it OK for me to keep refering people here? They get a quick response and the threads will be deleted so they are not taking up space. |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Jon Freeman Date: 10 Jun 01 - 05:51 AM Roger, I'd guess one thing that may give that impression with the help forum is the policy that I and others often adopt when dealing with requests to fix threads or handle duplicates. As a general rule, I just post back to say the job has been done (mostly to save another Joe Clone from going back to try and fix again) and don't enter into conversation - I don't really see the point. I don't know if the 2 members question is in the FAQ... so here goes. The way it works is that the Membership details are held at Mudcat and a cookie is used on a computer to log the current user. As long as Memberships have been created for each user (this could have been done on a different machine), all that is needed is to go to Membership and click on "Reset Cookie" (do not re-enter member details) to change the current user. A way for 2 users to avoid the need to reset cookies is to run 2 browsers, e.g. Netscape and IE which have there own sets of cookies, once set up, the Membership will reflect the browser in use.

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 10 Jun 01 - 04:31 AM I've never used the Help Forum Pene, it looks a bit sterile and impersonal? And having looked at it I am not sure how to use it!! Gill was asking how to copy/paste something to include in a thread and I think I pointed out the Mudcat HTML Guide where it is explained, and said she could try copy/pasting to notepad or word or to one of these threads. I don't think that I explained that these threads are not permanent like the others It looks like Gill could do with her own Mudcat Name too, is it possible to have more than one on the same computer without using another browswer or the 'identities' option? oh am I in for it if it is explained in the FAQ, help,.... |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: DaveJ Date: 10 Jun 01 - 02:01 AM Donuel, Read this site. A gent by the name of Joe Offer is one of the wizzards that keeps this forum running so well. Pay close attention to his posts.
Enjoy, |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Donuel Date: 10 Jun 01 - 01:19 AM What is the method for making links here? My first day , Don. |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Pene Azul Date: 10 Jun 01 - 12:18 AM Hi Gill, Click on Personal Pages on the Mudcat banner above. You can scroll down the page to see you active messages. There are also links to view your archive or sent messages. Help like this is usually answered in the Help Forum (Help in the banner). Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. You can use this thread if you like, the Help Forum, or send me a personal message. Jeff |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Sam Pirt Date: 10 Jun 01 - 12:13 AM From Gill - Sam's mum Is this where I come for help? If so thanks to Roger at Sheffield for telling me. I am fumbling about pretty well on the whole, never having touched this thing until the night before Sam left! What I'm stuck with at the moment is - how do I view the PM's I have sent or received, both in archives and active ? I think I've done this before but can't find it again, and I've just archived a PM by mistake and have not read it yet. My curiosity is nattering ! Help please! This Mudcat is really something eh? Thanks for any help - Gill ; = )) |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 07 Jun 01 - 08:18 AM I've not used technical support either, the only problems I really had were using free discs to join an ISP, in both cases these overrode my existing dial up/ email settings. So now I use the manual set up option when connecting to a new ISP, it isn't that difficult and any problem you might be ringing the support line about can often be traced back to those settings. When my email is 'acting up' I often find that one of the settings has been corrupted somehow and it is easy to sort out if you have a list of the correct settings - I seem to think FreeUK had an easy to use explanation of how to manually set up an account. |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: nutty Date: 07 Jun 01 - 07:21 AM If you want a really "whacky" email address try www.another.com. You have to send and receive on line but you don't have any trouble getting rid of the spam and can be completely incognito if you wish |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Jon Freeman Date: 07 Jun 01 - 07:14 AM ISPs: I am using Freeserve Time. I think (it's my mothers account) it costs about £15 per month for 24/7 and the service is reasonable. I also have a FreeUK account which I have had for some time and I have been very happy with the service. The drawback is that you have to pay for the phone calls - Freeserve works out a LOT cheaper. I wouldn't really worry about the cost of technical support. I think I've only used it once in about 4 years. I am perhaps a little more computer literate than a number of others who use Mudcat but as long as you can get an internet connection, there are plenty of other sources of help availible for most matters. It is perhaps a good idea to do something like I do and use one of the free accounts as a backup. Jon |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 07 Jun 01 - 05:59 AM I have probably confused John in Hull by saying that in some chat rooms your email address is on show and you can then receive junk email. To get round this I suggested getting one or more extra email addresses to use in those occasions so that your main address isn't cluttered with junk (my boss gets loads of unsolicited porn email after visiting a chat room - but I have since found out that this is a particular problem with the way AOL operates). I have a hotmail email address and a freeuk email address. The hotmail is web based and can be accessed from any computer but messages aren't saved on my computer for later reference . The FreeUk is a 'free' ISP account and I can receive email by using the same connection I normally use (btinternet) but if I want to send messages via that account I have to use the FreeUK dialup network which is charged at a local call rate. This still isn't making much sense is it? Here goes again Main email address - for close friends and 'trusted' people or sites Second address - most people and contact for companies I have bought stuff from third (hotmail) anything else on the internet that wants an email address - guest books and the like. This is the email that is now filling with junk and luckily has a bulk folder that collects most of the crap I check my main email every day, the next one every other day and the hotmail whenever I remember. Most Free ISP's aren't very free either, the free bit is usually that you don't have to pay a subscription, you do have to pay for the connection time though. For a while I have been using BTInternet which has a monthly subscription charge but no call charges - the drawback is that the service seems to be very unreliable (last night impossible to connect) and much more sluggish than other ISP's I have used. No such thing as a free lunch !! |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: MudGuard Date: 07 Jun 01 - 01:55 AM Hi, John, The main differences between Forum and Chatroom: Forum: you put a message here and anyone can read it at any time. You have to refresh the message list to see new messages (in this forum, if you use the "Messages since last visit", the refreshing is done automatically every soandso seconds - you can configure it). Chatroom: you put a message there and those people who are at the chatroom at that time, can read your message. If someone looks in later, he or she can't read your message. Best search engine: I like www.metager.de best (a meta search engine), but this one is mostly for German sites. Best ISP: don't know, as I do not know the providers in England HTH MudGuard |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: DaveJ Date: 07 Jun 01 - 12:49 AM I usually use Google, also, but there are metasearch engines available. Dogpile is my favorite. Fetch DaveJ |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 06 Jun 01 - 11:56 PM Talk about a quick response! you are up late cant you sleep either? (its nearly 5am) Thanks.john |
|
Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Jon Freeman Date: 06 Jun 01 - 10:28 PM I am a fan of Google too. FastSearch has been mentioned by a couple of people here and sounds good. I keep forgetting to try it though. Re Forum vs chatroom, my own (probably incorrect)interpretation of the difference is that in a chatroom, the discussion/conversation takes place in more or less real time. Jon |
|
Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Noreen Date: 06 Jun 01 - 10:16 PM Second question's the easiest, john- I like Google best, always seems to give me beeter results than any other search engines I've tried. Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 06 Jun 01 - 10:01 PM Thanks Roger! Whats the difference between a forum and a chatroom? Whats the best search engine? And finaly for now can anyone reccomend a free ISP with either free or local rate technical support? thanks. john (in hull) |
|
Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Noreen Date: 06 Jun 01 - 12:06 PM Quite right, Roger, I would hope so too. I think most people skip over these threads anyway. Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 06 Jun 01 - 11:53 AM Am I right in thinking that only kind, helpful people look at these practice threads? - so if someone asked a question that was more about the internet in general, email or some such that wouldn't offend anyone? |

Subject: RE: HTML Practice From: Noreen Date: 26 May 01 - 07:34 AM Go to the dropdown menu under 'quck links' at the top of this page,and select Reset Cookie. That should do the trick. Noreen |
