Time to ask the questions nobody wants to ask for fear of looking stupid! Well I have no such fear.

Yes, my user ID=10T. I just love some of the stuff I've seen on other user's siggys, but I have no blasted idea how to make my signature do any of that. I also have no idea how to make those little white quote boxes appear, and actually wanted to know about something else. So without further ado, here are my dumb questions....

1) How can I put a linky thing to Artists Against 419 under my name?

2) How can I do a white quote box without quoting the entire post that I'm quoting from?

3) What in the name of Soludo are with the little pink pony icons? I just don't geddit.

4) Will I go to newb-hell just for asking stuff this basic?

Thanks for listening. Feel free to PM or public-post your answers if you have the time. Go ahead and throw in a newb-schlapp if you wanna too!

Many thanks,

The DuckMan

To put a link in your signature, insert the following code:

[url=www.thesiteyouwant.com]The text you want[/url]

To quote part of post, well, you "quote" it and you remove the useless stuff (between the [quote] and [/quote]).. Did I get the question right?

Don't have a clue for the pinky shtuff..

I take it you mean in your sig, right? Go to "edit profile" and add this to your sig:

Code:

[url=http://www.aa419.org][b]Artists Against 419[/b][/url]

2) How can I do a white quote box without quoting the entire post that I'm quoting from?

Copy the text you want to quote, paste it into your post, highlight it, and click the "quote" button located right beneath the subject field. The code looks like this:

Code:

[quote]This is what I'm quoting[/quote]

Ask Lotta

I think you did. Beers to you!

To Slayer: Mucho thanks. bow_down

To Lotta: You're mocking me, aren't you?

Thanks to your willingness to assist me, I now have the sweet sweet power to make myself look really cool (pink pony icons aside) in front of the other newbies! I hereby promise to use my powers only for good.

Never underestimate the "cool factor" of the Prancing Pink Pony! Very Happy

^^^ Never overestimate the "cooler factor" of manly buns Razz

Posted: Fri May 04, 2007 8:02 am

The buns are indeed extremely cool, but have not yet been added to the icons.... oh, Leccy!?!?!?!?? Very Happy

Well, between you & lotta petitioning rover & leccy it can only be a matter of time before there's a manly buns icons. Prancing pony eat your heart out! Razz

I DID see my siggy. I gots 3 prancing pink ponies! I don't know what in the world that means, but I've got 'em.

Lemmy guess.... I get one pink pony for every dumbass question the mods have to answer? No that can't be it. I'd have twenty of them by now.

Somebody, anybody.... help me out here. I'm tearing my chest-hair out in suspense. I'll even offer payment for this information. Do you accept Western Union?

(and since it's been mentioned, what's wih the manly buns?)

It's careless comments like that, that earn people 20 ponies in their sig-line or some silly custom title when TSnerd passes by... Wink

As for the manly buns, ask Lotta... Razz

I can only assume that you were frustrated by the miserly issuing of only three pink prancing ponies.

I hope that I have resolved this issue for you.

Have I mentioned the fact that our mods can be a bit whimsical at times, Losst Jedi?

Posted: Fri May 04, 2007 10:01 pm

Hmmmmmm.... forgive me for making a hasty observation here, but I'm beginning to piece together just how dead-serious this place can be at times!

*feigning outrage* Y'know what I think? I think you're all just riding me here, and it behooves me to bear the mane brunt of this galloping inside joke!

That's OK though... I'll just get back in the saddle and take it like a man.

Posted: Fri May 04, 2007 10:35 pm

Losst Jedi, I will help you out of your confusion here Wink

These mods are really a mean bunch, aren�t they? Wink

The pink prancing pony comes from the old PWT (which disappeared) and has to do with the user JMRazor. The pony gets assigned by lotta.
I cannot really tell why she gives them away and for what, but it�s mainly for the postwhores among us. And since you don�t appear to be a postwhore, the ponys are actually TOTALLY misplaced in your sig Wink

So this whole thing is an inside joke Wink

*sigh* My good nature once more being woefully abused.....

I mean, FIVE [EDIT: dozens of] pink ponies?? I should think 1 or 2 would have sufficed for such a noob. Wink

About the icons, I want to complain for the first time (I think it is the first time Smile

).

I only do straight baitings and there is no icon for this. Please, make up some icon for straight baiters Smile

Posted: Sat May 05, 2007 5:32 am

There you go....some pretty pink audis for you Very Happy

Posted: Sat May 05, 2007 11:35 am

Woo! Woo! The buns have been added! jump_4_joy

But sf, your sig-line looks a bit odd now:

2 buns & a shield x2 in a team effort??? I mean, really... I wouldn't have thought so... Wink
