I've finally opened an account with photobucket. Now how do I make a link to photobucket from the ex dino cafe?

Is there any way we can get a list of moderators for the different forums put up? I don't know how to find out who is the moderator for most of them and know of another member who has the same kind of query. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

My question isn't on the FAQ at the beginning.

How do you make a poll? I've tried and haven't been able to figure it out.

How do I paste a thread to my post?
I don't know who else to ask.

Where are the bunnies?

I will (try to remember to) delete this message and repost a similar one when I make any updates... it just occurred to me that if people had this thread on their watched threads, they might like to know about updates.

The "bunnies"? Well, maybe I'll leave them here and/or hop over them with this.

I read all 3 pages of FAQ and find Q multiplying exponentially. I'm now officially lost. I'm new to computers as well as WrongPlanet. Does anyone besides Aspies even bother with all this stuff? I still can't figure out how to put stuff someone said in a little box to quote it in my post... hello? now you're lost too. If this is for beginners, more English please!

The above is done by just clicking on the "Quote" button on a post.

http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp648191.html#648191 does show how to do it in more detail.

You could also read through the standard help on "BBCode", which is available via the underlined link in the "Options" box, while you are posting (as I am now).

If you have questions that are not answered here, please ask them.

How do you put in those quotes that always appear under your posts? Like the ''Look! Bunnies!'' one. I like that!

Maybe I should make it clearer that that is a link?

It takes you to the standard FAQ about using this phpBB2 based board - where all the non-WP-specific stuff is explained. This thread is (mainly) for the bits that are customised to WP or are external to WP.

I wanted to embed links to Forum threads I like & create lists, etc, in my blog entries.

I think it might help if you underlined your links. I know it helps me.

The only mention about rules is in the question about images. I thought a more general question should be present.

in terms of posting why is it that an image url link from somewhere like myspace or you tube works but a photo url link from a site like facebook results in a little white square with a red "x" in the middle?
