mjmooney Posted October 15, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2012 Nice Google doodle today. I confess I'd never heard of Winsor McCay, but I do like that artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Cheers chaps! Rather than cake, the missus baked up some birthday brownies and iced this atop them... She's a good lass. I finally dutch ovened her the other day, after 6 years of trying too. And happy birthday to the Blunthmeister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 15, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2012 You do them in exactly the same way you would have done them on the old website [url=www.websitegoeshere.com]Clicky[/url] That didn't work when we first moved over to the new site, I tried it. me too. let's see. LinkToBeeb]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/]LinkToBeeb http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/]Retry If you edit (or quote) and look at what you've done above, it looks nothing like what I've suggested. But I think the site automatically changes it to that. Below, I've typed exactly what you put (but replaced your fake link with a link to the bbc) http://www.bbc.co.uk/]Clicky Edit: See? OK so. Curious... Mr Stephenson is correct. Those url things don't work. Test OK I think I've found why. I think you now need to wrap the URL in double quotes. Try [url="www.website.com"]Click[/url] TheBeeb retry. yes, the double quotes thing fixes it. excellent. Huzzah! You don't need to wrap any url's in any quotes. I have no idea why the idiotbox does the quote thing but a simple [url=www.websitegoeshere.com]Clicky[/url] [/code] works just like it always did. It always has worked on this new site too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 15, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2012 The Style Council. I wanted to like them. But I just couldn't bring myself to. Amen. As a huge fan of the Jam and even liking quite a bit of Weller's solo output, I never ever could get my head around the Style COuncil, a pair of posey pretentious twits and their mates playing at being all artsy poppy and looking french. Their tunes were generally dreadful too. Yuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Ian Hislop mentioned that the Mail Online was the World's most popular newspaper site. Had no idea. Google says there was some disgruntled rumblings from big US publications over the figures, but that's pretty scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this being discussed in here rather than the testing forum or the new site forum? Try clicking the top left most button in the editor to see what you are actually sending to the site.

Genie Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Villa OS^^ Same Story in Chrome as it is in ie8 :-/ I'll have a try in the testing area When I toggle editor mode the 'code' I've written has still vanished leaving just the text, in this case "Villa OS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always has worked on this new site too And yet it doesn't appear as though it did for the non-mods. That's why I had to delve deeper. Both ways work for me.
