Okay ... I really feel stupid.
I can't even figure out how you "white box copy" the note you are replying to and get it to show up in your reply.



There is a little tab at the top right of every post/message that says Quote.  Click it and the entire message goes into the white box - then you can delete the parts you don't want.

Now, if someone could tell me how to hide a link, so I can write "Rain Man" for instance and it will highlight the words in olive green - or whatever that color is - and link to http:\\websiteforrainman...if you follow.  If you don't, see grafstrb's post above (#392).  How did you get the names to be links?  (The sad part is, I knew this once.  My brain is full and I am now replacing things - or the alcohol killed off that brain cell.)

You crack me up!  I have long been a believer of the "max capacity" theory for many years.  Something comes in, something has to leave.
Sacrifices.  Wine knowledge for something less important.
And I probably screwed this up too.

Status: online 		make the link like this...

url=http...whatever.com  and the whole thing surrounded by square brackets  [ ] then the name you want for the link.  then [/url]

so [ url = http...whatever.com ]MY LINK[/url]

Just take the space out between the [ and the "u" and take out the spaces around the = sign and take out the space after the last letter of your link like the "m" in com and then it will work.

Still confused about the use of the square brackets [  ]

L.


Colonel,

To the best of my knowledge, the square brackets are elements of HTML code (the stuff that web pages are made of) which tells the system that there is going to be some form of instruction between them. As I understand them, there is always a pair of brackets that are identical, with the exception being that the second set has a / in it to act as an end point.

Examples (Note, I have to use () instead of [] for these examples to show up):
(b)(/b) will give bold Text
(i)(/i) will give italicized Text
(u)(/u) will underline the text

So the net-net is that when I do the [Image] button, I paste in my hyperlink between the two bracketed blocks that say Image in them and the system knows to retrieve that image from the Photobucket link and imbed it in the message. That is, when it works.

Tacman,

I think what you are asking for is what is shown as the Link feature on the Mac, on Windows it appears as a little globe with a chain link in front of it, slightly to the left of the image mountains. You type out your text in the body of the message, ie what you want to show as orange underlined words, and then you highlight it with your cursor and then click the little World w/chain button and it will ask you to specify the link you want to imbed. You will either have to cut and paste this from another window, or will need to know it from memory.

CL and Tacman, no self-derision on here, we are all learning about wine and computers...next stop, women!

And on that note... One last link for the night

We're going to a Thanksgiving brunch at noon.  We'll stuff ourselves silly, drink Mimosa's for a couple of hours, come home, take a nap, then open a bottle of???

For now I'm going to have a cup of tea and then try to catch a little more sleep.  Late night last night, and I'm getting too old to party all night and still get up with the sun.

I feel your pain, but my cellar did cost 4 times my original budget, so I feel that talking some sense into you is at the very least hypocritical, I am afraid.

Thanks, but I think it's too late for me.  The rep showed me how I could increase capacity from about 600 bottles to about 1800 bottles.  Even my husband thinks I should spend the extra to get the maximum space possible.

Status: online 		Eric will give you very good reasoning for having to maintain about 1000 bottles of inventory in order to keep a nice open drinking window of 20 years of age on your good wines.      It worked when he explained it to my wife in Seattle.  Now we just need to build out the space.

you will spend far more money on the extra 1200 bottles you can now provide a happy home for.
Send us pix when all is done!

Phrases such as "the slippery slope" and "I just have to have them" etc etc.

Maybe we need a 7-step programme in order to cope.

I can't even figure out how you "white box copy" the note you are replying to and get it to show up in your reply.



There is a little tab at the top right of every post/message that says Quote.  Click it and the entire message goes into the white box - then you can delete the parts you don't want.

Now, if someone could tell me how to hide a link, so I can write "Rain Man" for instance and it will highlight the words in olive green - or whatever that color is - and link to http:\\websiteforrainman...if you follow.  If you don't, see grafstrb's post above (#392).  How did you get the names to be links?  (The sad part is, I knew this once.  My brain is full and I am now replacing things - or the alcohol killed off that brain cell.)



You mean like this?  I think I'm actually learning something!

Paid several emergency vet bills in my day ... had a Rotweiller that I loved dearly.
I hope your dog pulls through.
