How-To Geek

Hey Scott,

OK . . . it looks like if I use "li" I can insert text along with a URL.

But your source code looks like this:

I don't see any bacticks in there, it just shows as pure HTML code. So, I'm going to try it as your code shows, and with the "li" tag as your image shows:

li = LookyHereScott,

Since this board doesn't have a preview window, I'm just going to have to hit "Send Post" and see if this turns out. One question on this though . . . why the rel=nofollow tag?? That wasn't in your image. Is that something this board software inserts?

Hey Rick,

Huh???

Here's your code:

I don't see any text after the "Edit"?? And that's the way your post came out to. Did you delete something?

Fingers crossed . . .

No BobJam, I did not delete anything. I have no idea why some things work on the boards and others do not.

Hey Rick,

OK . . . I finally got the images to work. After messing around with it for some time (and Rick, I guess you popped in during one of my many failures), I got it to take. This time instead of the simple straight brackets I had used before I used the HTML coding character. It finally worked when I did that img src= coding AND used backticks. Very confusing because, as I just said, it did not work as it did before. This time it was completely different.

And, as you can see, Scott's method didn't work. Curiously, the LookyHereScott links to the Wiki here, not the Wikipedia site.

Hey Scott,

If you can take a look at my image here of the source code for that. I pretty much followed your image. Here's my coding:

Hey ScottW,

Your surmise that this thing is not consistent is correct based on my experiences. And I was curious about bolding and italics, so your experiment showed that didn't work.

Anyway, Scott the Mod, can you see where I messed up on that li thing with putting text along with a link?? I thought I did it as your graphic showed, but apparently not, or else this board software gets fickle within an hour between posts.

Any error in a link will point back to the main HTG page.
the 'li =' was inserted by me for emphasis.

Bob,

I Agree with The Geek, Scott and ScottW.

It is the bbpress or whatever press program which is the problem and that is just the way it is.

I just got lucky ONE time and used code to pull the (My Build Picture) from my website storage folder but probably it was just a matter of timing or something. The picture is still linked in that old thread but the minute I edit it, I'll bet the picture and code will go away so I just leave it alone (LOL) (LOL).

Regards,
Rick P.

Note that I disabled the bbcode plugin, because that is the root of most of the problems... I'm in the process of fixing the others. The issue with lists and some other things are just that I need to add the stylesheet rules.

It finally worked . . . had to try it a few times.
