<b>How to Use Accountancy Forum Features</b>
I will try to explain in simple terms "How To"
* <b>Do Quotes</b>
*<b> Do Links</b>
* <b>Cut/Copy/Paste</b>
Once these 4 basics are described, I will open the thread up to questions and answers that newbies can ask and recieve help from cranky old timers.[D]
<b>"QUOTES"</b>
NOTE The {Quote} Button is not found in Fast Reply screen area. You must click {More Options} button.
a) click and drag (with left mouse button) to highlight word or words you want to appear as a quotation box in your post.
b) Above the reply screen is a {Quote button},click it, you will get this
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial" id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">b) Above the reply screen is a {Quote button}, click it, you will get this <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
....if you highlighted the above sentence.
Click Preview Post below reply window to see what you are quoting in fine print.
These are the basics.
<b>Troubleshooting Quotes </b>
Troubleshooting Quotes
To make sure all your quotes are working click preview. The preview screen is above the reply window. If your quotes are not all correct you will see
Your quotes will not be fine print and.....
Example,
Quote]= open tag
[Qoute]= misspelled quote
[\Quote]= backslash instead of frontslash
None of your quotes will work if one of them is wrong somehow. Anytime you have a "Quote" you must have a "/Quote" (end quote)
Identify who you are quoting with Quote=me, or Quote=whoever, inside brackets.
Next lesson "Links" after lunch. [p]
<b>LINKS</b>
The easiest way to link to a web page
While on the page you want to link to
A) Right click on the address bar in your browser at top of page.
B) Left click "Copy"
C) Come back to your reply screen in volconvo, Right click where you want the link to appear. Choose "Paste" with left mouse button touch space bar. DONE.
Also, even easier
If a web page has a link like this http//www.accountancy.com.pk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1720&whichpage=2. or any other (usually) underlined Text (a link can also be just another color than the rest of text, like example above), sometimes a link is a clickable picture.
A) Right Click on link, choose "Copy Shortcut"
B) Return to Reply Screen. Right click where you want the link to appear,
C) Choose Paste
