Countrygirl 6 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Can someone explain how to post a link please? I've tried it the usual way but when I try to paste, it doesn't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Copy the link you want to post, then from the menu in the post window, click on the "chain" icon, a drop down box will appear, post the link in that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 If you have problem posting after pasting rich text (containing links) First highlight the text then hit the little rubber icon (Remove Format) button in the menu bar. This removes all text properties except the link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ayup's is the long way of doing it Posting Text and Link seperately. But you can copy and paste rich text directly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Here is an example BBC News - Nottingham Or you can just post the link and it will be active www.bbc.co.uk/news/england/nottingham/ As long as it has http:// http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england/nottingham/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Can someone explain how to post a link please? I've tried it the usual way but when I try to paste, it doesn't work. I've edited and adjusted the link you posted (in "Mushroom") which didn't work. To do that I had to toggle the icon in the top left corner. Whatever you've got it set on, set it the other way.

Dave 48 847 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 How do you get the toolbar as shown in #6 . When replying to posts I like to insert smileys but unable to do so at present. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 At the moment I guess you are seeing this. Click on the arrow in the top right corner and the menu will expand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks Cliff Ton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Still no joy...the question mark symbol appears only after I have sent the post. I am using an ipad should that make any difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,674 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Don't know about ipad but don't get any toolbar when using android tablet , no probs on windows laptop though . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Click on "More Reply Options" at the bottom right of the reply screen and the menu with the smiley options will appear! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks Cliff Ton. DAVIDW and Limey for your help on this matter 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well I don't know what I've done but I've messed up Nottstalgia on my iPad and on desk top. I read this thread and clicked the 'More Reply Options' to see if I could get smileys on my iPad and also to be able to change what I've written as this is possible on desktop but not iPad. Now I've got everything in black and pale blue and not how it's always been with Robin Hood and Castle at the top. I can't just sign in and see New Content either. Help would be appreciated please.

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 LizzieM, in trying to solve your problem I think I've just put myself in the same hole which I can't get out of either. I am also in the light blue/black mode, and I can't get out of it !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Odd that I'm not alone with this !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi Lizzie I am in the same boat too 😥 I did get back to the proper page but that was by signing out but when you log back in again it takes you back to this page. If you click on the dark blue square with 4 smaller white squares in top r/h corner you can find new content, members etc but not ideal situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I have just been returned to normality by someone with Admin powers re-setting my account. I think the same may have to happen for other people as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thank you admin for getting me back.😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I have re-set Dave 48 and LizzieM's skins to the IP Board standard - which should solve the problem. If you need to change how it looks, go to "Change Theme" at the bottom left but DO NOT select the mobile skin - once you are in it, you need an Admin to get you out! At least it makes me feel wanted!

LizzieM 9,497 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm still on the black and blue one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Lizzie: I have re-set you to the "Old School" skin. You may have to log out, and back in again to see the change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks Eric, success! I promise never again to click on anything I don't understand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 That's O.K. - click away - it gives me something to do! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
