Long links, large photos, and why you shouldn't post either...
Those two things are my two things that really annoy me on any forum, but it's particularly bad and prevelant on this forum with the program they are using. It breaks the margins of what is normal, and in the case of large pictures can make the thread hard to load, leaving even me, who has a cable modem and a widescreen (1680x1050) with either ditching the thread, or waiting forever for it to load and having to side scroll over for every darn post. It really IS NOT hard to use the proper code for either.
For links, it's really easy (bear in mind that this site does NOT use regular vbulletin code, url and image does not work for linking and imaging)
(remove spaces)
[ l i n k = The URL you are linking to]The text you want[ / l i n k ]
Heck, they even have a little tool that does that for you...
Push the link button, put the URL in where it says URL, and put the text you want displayed in the box that says URL Name.
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about with arrows and text (click for larger image)
Not too hard is it? Now for pictures....
{again, remove spaces)
[ i m a g e ]Picture's URL[ / i m a g e ]
There's also a button above, it says "image" push it and you get a set of image tags put in where you cursor is (your view of the box you type in for the post will go back to the top left and your cursor will go to the end of the post).
You can stack these two as well, just like I did for the image I posted. The URL that you're linking to is the larger picture, and the text you put in is the tagged smaller image.
[ l i n k = Larger picture's URL][ i m a g e ]smaller picture's url[ / i m a g e][ / l i n k ]
And always preview your post to make sure you have all the tags correct before you post it. The preview button is right to the right of the OK button.
There you have it. Learn it and use it so it's easier to read these forums!

No they are the American Racing 200 S. And thanks for the Compliments.
So are we hijacking or would this be considered a friendly Bump for VARifleman

Your right but its still not as annoying as people complaining about what others do on internet forum talk websites....Its the Interweb, and i've never had a problem with any thread on this website. Maybe its time to upgrade your PC Junior
