How do you change a link from ''http://www.(etc.)'' to something you want to type there?
![]() {URL="http://www............."} blue highlighted test here which is page address of the site you are linking to. This can be deleted and replaced with the text you want to appear. {/URL} The brackets are square but if I do that it will think I'm trying to write code and won't appear correctly. |

After you have typed in your post, highlight the text you want as the link. Then click on the small globe icon (It's about 2/3 of the way down the line that starts 'B I U', it will say 'Insert link' when you hover the mouse pointer over it)
Click on it and type or paste in the url of the link. That's it ![]() Thank you!

What does it mean when someone's user name is in black print, with 'posts n/a' under it?

) when you de-registered, all your old posts and threads became inaccessible but that when you de-register now, that doesn't happen. I don't know if this is true though. Can someone from forum support clear this up properly for us please?Edit: I asked this question in another thread and this is the answer I got Quote:

It gets confusing as DS now tend to list those wishing to close their accounts as "Inactive Members" so as not to reduce the number of "registered users" that they have ie. to make it look like they have more registered users than they actually do. |

N/A users were people who have had their account deleted entirely. While their posts and threads remain active, their profile does not. We no longer do that and instead, if users wish to terminate their membership, we remove their ability to access their profile.

Hmm, so you have to manually type the user's name and copy and paste their post yourself instead of using forum functions? Too much like hard work hehe.

What happens to posts & threads which are deleted? Are they accessible to mods/admin in a secret 'bin' or are they deleted forever never to be seen by humanity again?

So what appears under their username because you can still activate an inactive members posts/threads. Do de-registered posters become "guests"?

Thanks and final question. Under the n/a system, you couldn't access a person's posts/threads. If someone is inactive, you can. If you become a guest, can other posters still access your posts/threads through your profile or do they get blocked?

Thanks Andy. On a completely different topic, I don't know if other people know about this but it's kinda cool. It's a "Let me google that for you" app for smart arses, whereby if someone is too lazy to google something, you type in the question for them eg do you know how to use google?
