Aside from language here are other tips:
1. Viewing Threads When you look at the main forums page... If you click on the title of the thread it will take you to the original post that started the thread... if you click on the Today/time it will take you to the most recent message posted.
2. Messages are attached to rosettes. Hover over one and it will say who sent it. Click on one and you can read the message the sender wrote you.
3. If you want to create Line Breaks in your Bio so that you have sections or paragraphs... copy and paste this line... Exactly this long _________________________________ where you want the paragraph to break.. Be sure to add one blank space in front of it and at the end of it and it will create a perfect line break like on my page... go look
It's cool! Even though I have plus now so I could use the extra bio fields I've left mine the way I first did it cause it's cooler... Ok cause I'm too lazy to change it I'll admit it
4. Live Links You will need to delete all of the blank spaces between the < / a > at the end.... I cannot paste up a sample without the spaces or it will turn the sample into a live link:
< a href=http://www.YourUrlGoesHere>The Words for the link go here< / a >
Upright Faces
>^..^< Kitty
x.x sleepy face?
^_^
O_O
-_-
6. *asterisks* Used to denote an action or something your dog is doing as opposed to saying such as:
*Kitai sat down and ate his corndog*
7. Giving Bones on a PC When you give a dog a bone, click the leave a bone link and open the window, you don't have to keep clicking that link to give more bones. As long as the "bone" window is open, you can hit F5 as many times as you want...it'll really load up the bones fast!
8. Tip on editing posts: If you want to correct a typo... just click on the little word "edit" at the top right corner of your post. It will then open to a window and allow you to correct, delete or add new text to your post and will then leave a little time stamp at the bottom of your post showing when you edited.
Everyone else please feel free to add any helpful tips for the new pups! |  |  |  |  |
