Introduce Yourself

[samoht04]

Its better when you say it!   It is an It joke, this is the original trick with the it joke.

Q. Philistine, how do you spell it?

A. I-T!  

Swede used another type

EDIT: Where is it by the way? Can you send me a link?

Well sure, it's just below this one.

Leto asked where it is...  

[pallyndrome]

I do not get it either. Did he mean it's the thread below this one? Is that funny?

Leto asked where it is... 

Thank you samoht04, but I have found it already. It was indeed below this thread, but probably only because this was the last one where someone has put an reply in.

@pallyndrome: in case you where still searching for it, here is the link: http://www.carls-sims-3-forum.com/index.php/topic,697.0/topicseen.html

Okay, I Give up!    The link was the it - Swede it's a tough crowd 

[Swede1992]

I'm obviously funnier than I thought...
What I of course meant was to give him a link to the Babble Thread and still indicate that it was below this Introduction Thread. You can answer him successfully and still be funny!

Ok, so I went back and just now saw that the word "it" is actually a Hyperlink. I still don't get the joke, but oh well, that's ok.

Huh? You all really didn't see that? Haha, I thougt you all where just making fun of Swede. The It was typed in a differend color, indicating that it was actually a link. That is standard here, right?

Yes it is Leto. To colour the regular text in any other colour than black is forbidden by the forum rules, so a blue text will always indicate a link.

How do you actually do that? I like to know for in case I need someday to guide someone to somewhere in someway (weird line sorry ). I'm pretty sure that it isn't changing the colour only, because with only that I will send one to... Well, probably nothing. Besides for breaking some rules of course.

[Swede1992]

To insert a link as a word you write first "[url=(the website)]" (without quotation marks, ignore that the first u is weird) and then write whatever you want the word to be; end with "[/url]". This will always give the text that blue colour.

To change the text colour (which you may never do ) you have the "change color" option at the right of all smileys in the posting screen.

so the it was a link? I didn't notice that either. hmmmmm... still not that funny? lol
and thanks, but I know where the babble thread is - I post on it myself
lol

Now this whole thing is making me laugh out loud.

These instructions are how to imbed a link into a word or phrase, which is nice and tidy and everything.  But if it's too complicated, just copy the link itself to a post, highlight it, and click on the "Insert Hyperlink" button.  That will create a link in your post without it being imbedded.

I just don't get it. That complicated stuff. Just let's hope I will never need it anyway. I just have to post the whole link I'm afraid.

Don't worry about it, Leto.  It's difficult to explain in writing because we can't really show perfect examples because the code will turn it into a link.  Then it gets very confusing when we try to sort it all out.  It's perfectly fine to use the whole link without embedding it.
