Notice to newcomers re trolls.

*MF*

Hi ... welcome!

Smileys easy - when you are posting look for the box that says "Go Advanced" not the "Post Quick Reply" and you will see a selection of smilies appear - click on the one(s) you want and they will appear in your post.

Photos etc - hang on a bit _ I'll be back

*MF*

This is a post I did a few pages back - one page back (as I type) I think - if you want to have a look.

If you have a photo or pic you want to post which is on your PC - join a hosting site - like Photobucket - it's free, so don't worry, you learn to upload to that site and they give you the links to use to post on here - strange to begin with, but like all things easy after a few times.

One strong tip - if it is a photo, before you upload it - right click on the photo on your PC - and choose the smallest size - then upload the small version - otherwise it distorts the size of the threads on this forum.

Need more help - just ask.

How I do it (long-ish version) - and I am not a techie, lol.

1) Right click on the smiley and save image as ...
(I think it will show the name I am using - so choose what name you want to save it as - usually ends up in "my pictures" on your pc - or rather - that what happens for me)

2) Then upload to somewhere like Photobucket ...

3) Then use the IMG link they supply, and then post that IMG link on here ...

That help?

...and apologies for my spelling of your name earlier - lack of nicotine, lol.

Thanks . :money: .. mind if I wait and see some (any) opinions - also hoping this might be one of the things the MSE Towers are already planning on, but if not I'll use that link - ta!

*EDIT*

Downside _ I'm off topic/talking too much
Upside #1 - it's keeping the thread active
Upside #2 - its day 2 of me NOT smoking and it's keeping my brain and hands active :cool:

You're not - you're talking about stopping trolls/spammers. That's what this thread is about.

I agree with ZTD:T

and if we keep talking and quoting pania's original post in every now and then it keeps it bumped up:j
