Title: Why won't they move?
Post by: lorna on March 20, 2006, 17:37:31
When typing messages particularly Birthday Wishes  I can get everything to work. IE size, colour, italics  but I cannot get M (move)  to work. It was working but since the work was done on the site a while ago it no longer works. I am sure that is coincidental. Any ideas folk?
Lorna.

You have to put a smilie or whatever between  move and move as this
???

;D >:( :( :o 8)

If you remove the asterisks from the code shown below then, the code for the above is:

[*move*];D >:( :( :o 8)[/*move*])

M is still not working here, I have done it loads of times previously so must be something amiss here, As you can see if I try any of the other tags, IE I. they work, so I must be doing that part right. If I try M and then look at preview not even the text shows up.I will give up now!!!     
Title: Re: Why won't they move?
Post by: ken (69) on March 24, 2006, 10:54:39
You have to shift your cursor up or down a bit to see the preview, Lorna.

Still do Faststone Pacman, Mike, dare not give a link, very addictive. Am up to 468, think it gets harder at 500.

Lorna and Ken, you have flummoxed me!  I can do it by copying Mike's
"[*move*]    [/*move*])" from his post and pasting it here, taking out the asterisks and adding my own smilies in the middle but what are you talking about in the quotes above?  I am completely lost.  What is M and where does the curser come into it please?  It is obviously something to do with saving it on memory so please help me out.

pleeeease  pleeeease  :'(  :'(

Sorry Pauline, I meant the scroll button........"your cursor up"

Sorry Ken I still don't know what you mean.  Is there any way of putting it into the memory of a computer instead of typing out "[*move*]    [/*move*])" each time?
What is a scroll button anyway?

Well done Lorna, another feather to your bow or should it be your arrow!  No, it's to your cap isn't it.  Silly me.   :-[ :-[

Press M Pauline, and the cursor is in there, flashing, ready for you to type something in or put a smiley.
The scroll button is on the right which you move with the mouse pointer.
Title: Re: Why won't they move?
Post by: Paulines7 on March 25, 2006, 14:58:13
I'll try it then, Ken.

M  .................nothing happens

Ah, I have just spotted the M in the Add BBC tags perhaps I use this one do I, rather than typing capital M on my keyboard?

I'll try again then Ken.

Done it!!   ;D ;D ;D  Done it  ;D ;D ;D

I hope! 

Thanks Ken.  It's so easy when you know how.  I thought you needed to use the letter M from the keyboard and there it was staring me in the face on the tags above what I was typing. 

By the way Ken, what are all the other tags for please.  I understand  Bold, Italics and underline and now the M but what about the rest?

Post by: ken (69) on March 25, 2006, 17:51:47
Hover the mouse pointer over the list of BBC tags and it will tell you.
Font, size, glow etc

A running horse would be a challenge.
Title: Re: Why won't they move?
Post by: Paulines7 on March 25, 2006, 22:28:37
Ken, how do you get a running horse?  Just thought, perhaps I should have asked ann hunter seeing as it's a horse!   ;D ;D
Title: Re: Why won't they move?

Ken 69, is this the sort of thing that you meant?

Lorna, I am only experimenting, I'm not sure what I am doing.  I don't think this is what Ken wanted.  Neither of my posts are are a patch on what Green Wizzard regularly produces.  I wish I had her knowhow.

Hi weedbusta. After my initial question (March 20th) I did have a few practice sessions ::) ::)
I can get everything to work OK IE M. I.Size. colour etc etc.I can even preview EXCEPT when I use MOVE. So I don't preview now if I am using M.
As I said on another thread when I post pics I can't preview them either.
I just try to be careful and not drop any clangers ::) ::)LOL.

it took mikeb's photo explanation before i got it. i really need someone sitting beside me. i love this site, people are so understanding and patient when giving instructions, whether it's computers or gardening. anybody know what the rest of the wee picture boxes are for? or where the spellchecker went to.
