HELP! - Basic posting questions
Greetings!
I'm new to the Entmoot and enjoying it very much so far, but I have some basic posting questions - things that I just haven't been able to figure out as yet... 1.) Can images (other than an avatar) be posted? I tried adding an animated gif to a post, and I couldn't get it to work... 2.) I notice some folk have interesting (Elvish???) font in their names - and since I've been posting here, these same characters have shown up on other pages I visit, which are completely unrelated to this one (such as The Aria Database! LOL!) Where do these come from and can anyone tell me why I'm suddenly seeing them everywhere?!? (I find this hilarious, by the way; as if I'm being sucked into Arda, computer and all! ) 3.) What is the "#" button for???? I know that I have more questions, but it's early, I need more coffee to jog the old brain cells... in the meantime, thank you, I appreciate any help/advice! Alqua PS - I hope I haven't put this post in the wrong forum... my apologies if I have! |

Images can be posted using the image tags [img]whatever[/img], but it will only show up in General Messages Forum as an actual image. Of course, they have to be linked to a website somewhere.
Like this... This image is linked to mysmilies.com (btw, that's another hint for you: the "http://" tag) I believe you mean Tengwar. Tengwar fonts can be found by doing a search on the web on any search engine. There are fonts for PCs and Macs. But you have to have the fonts in order for you to view them. (There's also Cirth and Runic.) I don't know if I've answered all of your questions, I've got a hell of a headache right now. If I didn't, hopefully someone will help you out here. |

Hmm...
Okay, I've tried, but all I get is this! LOL I tried both with and without the "www" part... ugh, I'm just not so computer-savvy! It seems to be appearing as a link rather than an image, even though I used the IMG tags... So why only the General Messages board? PS - Thanks for the advise, Ruinel! Sorry for your headache - I just got over a very nasty one myself, and can totally relate - feel better soon! Alqua
