Forum Functionality: Tips & Tricks
 

Hello guys,


I had a few questions about posting in threads here,

1) how do you get info to show under your name

2) i guess this might be answerd with # 1 since the info is with the Sig, but how do you get a signiture, i dnt see the option for anything in my account manager.

3) how do you get a picture for your avatar, i assumed it would be something you could do after X amount of post but someone with less then me had an avatar.

4) how do you get the links to different pages to not show up as a big long url but a word of you choice.

5) "I believe that this may be a download" but how do you capture screen shots like in the thread that let you show of your desktop.

Thanks ahead of time guys, :)

1) you do have info that shows up under your name. number of posts, your location, thanked xx times.... etc.

2) go to
http://talk.maemo.org/profile.php?do=editsignature

3) go to
http://talk.maemo.org/profile.php?do=editavatar

4) write the word you want to appear as a link. then select it and click on the symbol with the blue globe above the text input area. a window will pop up asking for the URL. then this will be automatically transformed into the correct forum-style code for URLs.

5) yes, its a download.

its called the "load applet" - i made the word "download" a link in my above post (using the globe symbol :D ...), so just click and install it from there

sorry guys i was rushing home from work and missed that "Invisible link"
thanks,

but while i have your attention i had a query about canola2 beta11, it wont let me use my lastfm account and gives me a message saying: error has occurred in my session.the server may be down or i may be experiencing network problems; does lastfm only work in the US like pandora? well sorry I asked this here instead of the software forum but i didnt see one on this particular topic and didnt want to start a thread just for that.

thanks,

Since April, Last.fm has required a paid subscription outside the USA, UK, and Germany, yes.

"[canola],[vegalume] Last.fm is pulling the plug"

what a bummer man,


well thanks sjgadsby, i was actually the last to know. and that just shows how much i used it, but seen the plugin and thought i could really get some use outta canola2... oh well i guess if the price isnt to high i'll pay while i'm out side the US.


Thanks,

Ok, I'm missing something here. When I go to the Avatar edit page, I'm faced with this, and cannot add my avatar.

Re: Forum Functionality: Tips & Tricks
 

Try un checking that button next to "Do not use avatar". More options should then show up.

Re: Forum Functionality: Tips & Tricks
 

Got it now, I think there is a post count limit in place, possibly 5 posts. I noticed the options changed after five posts.

Thanks for your response.
