17 Jun 18 - 09:51 AM (#3931421) Subject: Tech: Blue clicky for a Mudcat page page From: Richard Mellish The blue clicky generator works fine for most URLs but goes wrong for a URL on Mudcat itself. For anywhere else, after the href= the text in quotes starts with https:// Where the link is to a page here, instead of https:// there is just a single / before the rest of the URL. When one then does Preview or just posts, the resulting URL starts with https://mudcat.org/mudcat.org/ which fails. I've found a workaround, which is to insert the https:/ by hand before the lone / Hope that isn't too confusing! Richard |

Good to know and a good habit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This got me to measure why I do like the blickifier. For my android tablet doing it manually : < back to text is four keystrokes a href is six keystrokes = back to text is four keystrokes. " is press & hold, paste is two keystrokes " is press & hold, > is three keystrokes paste is two keystrokes < is three keystrokes / back to text is three keystrokes > is three keystrokes =thirtytwo and then I like to check... preview submit - two keystrokes tap&hold > open in new tab - two keystrokes v blickifier is one keystroke paste two create one copy four test, & back to thread two paste one =eleven But it's not just the time, it's my propensity to make a typo. And I don't have to concentrate that I've got all the letters in the right order. |
