Regular way to post an image: an example --

<IMG SRC=http://www.blah.com/image.jpg>

To specify size: an example --

<IMG SRC=http://www.blah.com/image.jpg width="100" height="150">

which would be done by adding style="float:right" to either of the image statements above.

where "[ ]" = "< >":

Try [font size=-1] or -2 or -3 and then the [i] for italics. I use [sub][i] to get mine real small and ital.

You can test your coding in a comment here by fooling around with the tags and previewing, then copy the code that works, back out of the comment and paste it into your sig.

Thank you for the helpful suggestions...here is first go -

[font size=-3][i]“les Etats-unis, c’est le seul pays à être passé de la préhistoire à la décadence sans jamais connaitre la civilisation…” - Georges Clemenceau[/i][/font size]

Well, that was a bust! Hmmm...

[font size=-3][i]“les Etats-unis, c’est le seul pays à être passé de la préhistoire à la décadence sans jamais connaitre la civilisation…” - Georges Clemenceau[/i][/font size]

_{“les Etats-unis, c’est le seul pays à être passé de la préhistoire à la décadence sans jamais connaitre la civilisation…” - Georges Clemenceau}

It's precisely the effect I'm looking for!

replacing all square brackets with the corresponding angle brackets. But on my browser (Safari) the text doesn't change size.

Oops, no I didn't, I just looked at the source. I used [sub] but with angle brackets.

_{“les Etats-unis, c’est le seul pays à être passé de la préhistoire à la décadence sans jamais connaitre la civilisation…”...Georges Clemenceau}

I had to put the brackets in or else my comment would have been rendered invisible. Also, the close to [font size] is just [/font]. Again, brackets equal LT / GT signs.

If you find a old link to the bulletin board you need to use cache to see it. The bulletin board is toast. :(

A neat hint for searching the current site is:

http://agonist.org/?q=trip_search&keys=barris

Just C&P to your navigation bar

Insert the following code: "< !--break-- >" (without the spaces, of course).

It's not as if S-P charges an annual fee or anything. Disappear, if you wish; else, lurk.

If you are posting from a workplace or library, the institution may have photobucket blocked, in which case you can link it but won't see it until you're on an unfiltered network.

I just now remembered it's in the confirm email.

your comments most probably not. You're able to edit comments up until someone responds to them but not afterwards because that would retroactively impact the ensuing dialogue.

PM Tina, she'll be able to give you info.

really, i do always say that. what we create is important, and in many ways a life of it's own. myself, as an artist, i let the pencil do what it will -i rarely have preconceived notions of what i'm going to draw -so it's a holy experience for me, coming from 'elsewhere' as it does.

for me, public forums are entirely a different sort of writing environment, and is elicited from me here, among these many and disparate folk, has been good. mutually, i hope.

what material you have here has value.

such things are not to be found elsewhere here. indeed, each voice is different. each view is different.

and our tracks here take on their own -as they grow and grow.

tracks... the tracker pages (one's own and the general one of the site entire) are to me an agonista's best tools here. i hardly ever see the actual front page, coming in those backdoors as i do.

(is there a primer on this place?)

we are our words but also humanz. we just never have to hear each other fart. :)

your opportunity to edit vanishes the moment somebody replies to your message. This is a bother when/if, for instance, you cite a particular web page in a posting, but misspell the URL. Somebody replies that your source is bogus and your only option is to create a new post with the corrected info. Not a HUGE problem. Just a bother.

More irksome is when you reply to somebody's post, then realize that your comment is flat out "stoopid" or ill-informed. You can't just hit "delete" and make the offending post disappear but must leave some remnant in its place. Subject line "X" Comment "X". Unnecessarily cryptic and wholly redundant so far as I can see.

Sean Paul said that Lambert is working on a number of known Agonist technical issues currently. The editors are also seeing the ones you mentioned.

FWIW.

Just hit "reload" and the page will draw, complete with your edit. Problem seems to have something to do with stalled tracking.

Here's the link for the list of the geography categories and countries:

http://agonist.org/geography

The current categories have Arabia (Arabian peninsula) for Saudia Arabia and Kuwait, etc.,

Levant includes Lebanon,

Africa: North, for Egypt,

The "Stans" go in Asia: Central

I changed Olympics 2008 to just Olympics now.

The French Canada category has been debated a lot.

I'll ask SP and the other editors to take a look at your post too, and see if they have any other comments or suggestions.

we're locked into this version of drupal for the time being and what we really need is tags. When we get the resources to upgrade properly (read: when ad revenues recover) we will do so. Until then this is about as good as it gets.

At the moment for some reason you seemed to have to be logged in. If you go into your account you can turn your private messages back on - I had to turn mine back on too.

I did what you asked Tina and it still doesn't work. I also keep getting the message that I'm not authorized to access this page. Can someone please fix it. Thank you kindly.

_{Tolerating prostitution is tolerating abuse and torture of women and children.}

For some reason they periodically reset to not show. You have to go into your user profile, click the "edit" tab on the top, and find the check boxes for private messaging and check it, then save the settings.

Mine were unchecked too, which seems to happen be happening every several months.
