Been getting asked this today/tonight:

"How do I put a thread on ignore?"

Here's the answer:

Just go into the thread (like you are reading or posting on it), then go to "thread tools" on the green bar, then select "ignore this thread" on the drop down menu. Voila!

You can also reverse that process if you decide to return to the thread.

Just know that when you (general you) visit the "home page" you will still see that thread; however, when you go to "new posts" the thread will not be seen. :winky:

Can I ask how you post youtube links?
---End Quote---
First, on the YouTube video, you'll see a link like "blahblah=blahblah. You highlight and copy everything after the "=".

Then come back here and in the response page, you'll see an "Youtube" icon. Click this and it comes up . Paste the link (remember, everything after the =)in between the borders. This should bring up the video link when you hit "post".

Parker 12-31-2012 06:01 PM

For those, like me, who are visually oriented lol ......

Also, because I dont see the "=" sign on my youtube videos any longer -- and, of course, some people do it a little differently than I do so ymmv, take what you need and disregard the rest. :)

-----

First, the short version:

Take a link like this from youtube:
http://youtu.be/ZCFCeJTEzNU

Come to BFP and click the youtube button to bring up these tags:
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE
(note: I erased the last "]" so you could see the tag)

Add this portion of the youtube link in between the youtube tags:
ZCFCeJTEzNU

-----

Next, the longer, picture-filled version:

Find the video on youtube that you want to share here - I chose the Silent Monks Singing Hallelujah because that one makes me lol:

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...78030151_n.jpg



Click on "share" to get to the youtube link:

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...94753256_n.jpg



Highlight, right click, and copy that link:

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...65478069_n.jpg



Come to the Planet and thread to which you want to post the video - and click the "youtube" button:

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...84607205_n.jpg



Paste the youtube link in between the BFP youtube tags:

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...38268606_n.jpg



Erase what is underlined in red and keep what is underlined in blue so that your end result will look like this:

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...46016053_n.jpg



And your video will look like this:

I'm sorry, it didnt occur to me that those who are color blind would not see the difference between the 2 lines I discussed above ....

So, erase the "http://youtu.be/" portion of the link and keep the "ZCFCeJTEzNU" portion in between your youtube tags. :)

So I searched for quite some time today for the thread "name changes" or something similar to that. I was unable to find it. I was directed to come here and ask if anyone could assist me by posting a link to the thread. I'd appreciate it much... and will see you on the flipside of my name. :byebye:

Corkey 02-03-2013 05:44 PM

Here's how I find stuff.

If I know someone who has posted recently in a thread I can't find, I go to that persons page and look at Statistics, go to threads someone has posted in, and search their stats.
In this case Linus.

It's *totally* not stalking if it's for a thread search.

:cheesy:

JustBeingMe 02-18-2013 11:45 PM

Sometimes you can find threads by using the Search tool alone and type in the name of the thread your looking for or do a more advanced search by clicking on Search then Advanced search and typing in information it asks for , it also let you use key words as well.

JustBeingMe 02-18-2013 11:48 PM

My question for help is how do you post a picture like a screen shot into a post? or a picture you want to post? I have yet to know how to do that. It's something new for me. I also would like to know how to make a link to a thread to be able to be underlined and give it a name? like go here and have here underlined or say link here or something like some of you all know how to do. This thread is very Useful to us all.
Thanks,
Just.

JustBeingMe 02-19-2013 12:48 AM

when I said picture above I meant a picture from my computer that is saved on it and post into a thread. there has got to be a better way to post it than having to upload it to a site and do it from there???? I don't like posting pics too often on sites I don't trust. Just sayin.

Linus 02-19-2013 01:26 AM

We don't allow it because of the amount of space it takes on our server (y'all like your LOLCATS too much). If you want to upload one, upload it to your gallery.

Since Linus already addressed your picture question, I thought I'd do a post for the other stuff: adding a link to your post and underlining it.

And honestly, whenever you (general "you") add a link, it is already underlined, so you dont need to add the underline tags, but I added those steps anyway because while a link is already underlined, it is not automatically in bold or italics and the same steps can apply to those.

Side note: this is a very long post with step-by-step pics which may seem tedious to people who already know how to do this, but if you have never done this sort of thing, skipping a step could make the whole thing seem confusing and intimidating, so I tried to include each step here (I also had to remove some of my smilies because we are limited to 18 pics/smilies, so pretend I added a winky-face here!).

-----

Everything you need for a post is at the top of your posting or editing box:

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...39157382_n.jpg


So I will show this 2 ways: first, posting a link and then adding the text to it and then I will show how to add a link to text you already have in your post.

First, you need a link - I just chose a link to your post:


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...55512150_n.jpg


Then you go to where you want to post your link and click the little button that looks like the world with a chain link (see what they did there?):


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...69640146_n.jpg


This box will then pop up:


https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...68760036_n.jpg


Without left-clicking inside the box (the http:// should remain highlighted), right click and past the link you copied into that box and hit "OK":


https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...68760036_n.jpg


Your link, text, and tags will look like this:


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...65644626_n.jpg


In that highlighted area between your tags is where you would write the text that you would like your link to appear as:


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...49804057_n.jpg


Then, you can highlight that text an add bold, font, or italics, etc (I added underline here, but again, you dont have to do that):


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...84258657_n.jpg


Making your link, text, tags, and editing look like this:


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...47323010_n.jpg


And your post would look like this:


https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...21171132_n.jpg


Now, let's pretend you already have a post with a bunch of text in it:


https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...07070464_n.jpg


Go get your link:


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...55512150_n.jpg


Highlight the text you want to appear as a link and click the little world w/a chain link:


https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...04817397_n.jpg


Paste your link into the box and hit "OK":


https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...65735394_n.jpg


Keeping the text highlighted, you can then add your edits, like bold, font, or italics, etc (again, it will already be underlined when you post it):


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...81544646_n.jpg


Your post with text, link, tags, and edit will look like this:


https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...57491865_n.jpg


And your finished post will look like this:


https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...66144531_n.jpg

Something I have done before and would suggest to anyone new to this sort of thing would be to open up a post and start playing with the edits. You dont have to actually "submit" the post to see what your post would look like, you can hit "preview" and see what it will look like and then go back and edit, playing around with the buttons, links, etc a little more.

Hope that helped a bit! :)

Thank you Parker. It seems easy enough to follow. And I never thought about just playing around with the buttons before, was afraid I would end up posting something I didn't really want posted. LOL
Again, thank you to everyone that helps out in this thread,it's much appreciated.

PS. I was talking about being able to post pictures in the "Find Me a picture of" thread and that sorta thing. Do I still have to upload them to another site, then grab and post them from there to the thread?
And, do I have to be a paying member to be able to have some tiny pics at the bottom of my signature line, like some others do ?

You're welcome :)


And if you are talking about posting pics from your computer, then yes, you have to upload them elsewhere first. Allowing people to use this site as a place to upload pics from their PCs would use up so much space, I cant even imagine! I, personally, use my Facebook - others use Flickr, Photobucket, etc. - and when you upload it to a site like FB, just grab the URL and bring it here.

If you are talking about using something that is already on-line that you found, then no - you just need to grab the URL and post it using the little picture button.

This post is where I show how to post a pic in a thread - and the same instructions can apply to your sig line. Just go to "edit signature" on your control panel and you will see that it looks very similar to posting on a thread so you can follow the same instructions on posting a pic there; and you can also hit preview there as well so you can see what your sig will look like before submitting it. :winky:

Well, this is a tad embarrassing.

After a dozen years in BF space, I have never started a thread from scratch and I realized I don't know how. :blink:

I would like to get it right. Any tips? Or maybe a link to where I find out?

Parker, I can't get youtube to work for me. I don't know what's the matter. I am trying to post a pink video in the what are you listening to thread and it's just not working at all. I've tried everything you guys have posted here step by step and it's not working. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't know what to do about it. hmmmm.



And this one here only gives a link, not showing the video:

There are a couple of ways to go about this but most are about the same in terms of difficulty.

This is what I do:

I find my video and copy the link and put it in the post I want it to be in. Then, I select all the text from the beginning http to the = sign and delete it. If a link has &feature after the url, you can delete that too. Take what's left and select it then click the youtube button at the top right of the post. It will put youtube and /youtube in brackets on either side. Preview it to make sure it's good to go and then submit.

For your link, your url would be uMnbFq8vpZs. With the brackets, it would look like [youtube] uMnbFq8vpZs [\youtube] but without the spaces. Those are to show you the formatting.

Here is the finished product:

I am hoping that with time it will have all the most commonly asked questions along with the answers provided by any member who has chosen to asnwer, kind of like a FAQ resource.

So please, anyone is welcome to ask or answer a question!

Are you talking about the feature that shows the Recent Visitors to your page? If so, just click on the little arrows to the top right of the Recent Visitors box so it will not show it anymore..... it makes the box scroll up and close, but still leaves the name for it and the arrows to reopen it. I hope that's what you are talking about.

Private Messaging
 
When I get a private message I read, reply and delete. I do this with everything, private messages, emails and texts. Clutter does not appeal to me so I tidy up as I go along.

What I want to know is, if I delete a message from my Sent Items before the other person reads it, do they still get my reply?
