I cannot get links to work in posts. Anew page will open but there is nothing there. Do I not have the correct settings?

I am the biggest techno-boob ever. I can't seem to be able to figure out how to add a photo? I have copied and clicked on the insert photo button, but when the "copied" information (from photobucket) is added, it only gives me the little random "you screwed up box."
What on earth am I doing wrong???
(I love to step by step photos, I am such a visual learner. LOL)

I need help! add signature add message under avatar find out my refugee number get refugee badge in signature Lisa, -Go to PROFILE Under your name and star is an empty text box that says "Enter your message here." Type what you want to appear under your avatar and then hit UPDATE STATUS (grey box). -From that screen, choose EDIT PROFILE. This is where you added your avatar. -From that screen, choose SETTINGS. You can do many things here. -From that screen, choose PERSONAL. It looks like you can add signature information there. I don't know how to add badges. It's been described in various threads, though, and probably in this thread.

Did you know that you can insert a smiley anywhere in your text, even after you've typed the whole post? (I struggled with this on the old board .) By default, when you finish your post and select a smiley, it will insert itself wherever you last typed :oIf you did any editing, this could be the middle of a sentence. If Smiley ends up in the wrong place, just go to where you want him, delete the letter or punctuation immediately in front of the desired location, then retype, and THEN insert Smiley . That way, Smiley knows where to roost. (<--- double-fisted guy for AussieMeg) (I inserted all these smileys after I wrote the post. I'm on an iPad.)

You can also click and drag the smiley or cut/paste

Any tips for inserting personal smilies on an ipad. It works a treat on the PC, but I'm buggered if I can fathom out how to do it on the ipad. Use the "reply" button, not the "quick reply". At lower left of the reply box, tap on the BBCode tab.
Then tap on the smilie you want.
You can compose all your reply in the BBCode tab, or switch back to the Preview tab once you have inserted your smiley.
Trying this.....

Don't know if this was posted (I have not read this whole thread and may not for a while) but if you hover over the name of the forum, the other forums are in a drop down list so you can jump from there.

disneypal -- I'd like to resize one of my images, but I don't know where I need to be to start the resizing. In Tinypic? In edit profile? TIA I assume you mean how do you resize for your signature? If not, see THIS POST for re-sizing in a forum post. If you want to resize a photo for your siggy, do the following - Go to tinypic.com
- Select Browse
- Choose the photo/image you have saved on your computer
- In the re-size box - select AVATAR
- Click upload now
- Then copy and replace with the code you have already saved in your siggy.

Or click on the name of the person you want to block to go to their profile, use the dropdown by the cog at the right hand side, click on block Member.

I just did a quick skim so if this was already here I apologize for posting it again. If you click on the number of replies in a thread you get a pop up box showing everyone who has participated in that thread.

To quote multiple people in the same postHit the Reply button Make sure you are using the BBCode reply mode (tab at the bottom of the reply box) Below the reply box, there is a thread summary, which shows the previous posts in text only form (presumably not all of them in a really long thread, but I haven't tested that!) Next to each post, there is a quote button Hit that button for each post you want to quote Scroll back up to your reply box - using the handy new up arrow at the right hand side of the screen - and you'll see that they're all in there Switch back to Preview mode, and add whatever you want to say

To post a spoilerClick on this button in either the Quick Reply or Reply box: A box will pop up, type whatever you want to keep hidden in that box When posted, it will appear like this: and your hidden text will only show when you click on it

That spoiler button is great! I've seen it on other boards. Much better than the old peas way of white or gray text.

Okay, I've finally found the first thing I don't like about the TapATalk app. It doesn't play well with the Spoiler button. It shows the text that should be hidden. :-)

To have your font permanently changed hit the reply button and pick how you want it to look. Then copy the BBCode without your text and go to your profile. Edit profile and go to settings. From there under posting default select BBCode and it will give you a box to enter your code into. Paste your code and hit save. Trying to see if I figured this out... Dagnabit, I pasted the code into the box and hit save. Trying again. I hit "save account settings" Is that right? Crap. What am I doing wrong? The font was pasted into the BBC Code box, and I hit save account settings. Is that not right?
