simple html code for the 'rents

Parents Forum

<p>It is obvious in thes threads/posts a lot of you parents don't know a lot about computers and the internet. I thought I would start a thread with simple html code you can all understand to make posting on these boards much better. When you are trying to respond to someone it is much easier and better to block off the post you are responding to by citing the quote you are talking about in your post. To do this:</p>

<p>Step 1.) Type
[QUOTE]
. Step 2.) Insert the quote you are referring to by copy and pasting. Step3.) Type exacly

[/QUOTE]
</p>

<p>Wah lah, you have a quote you re referring to in your post! It makes it much easier to understand.</p>

<p>^A, it didn’t work. B, that’s not HTML. </p>

<p>To do his post right (not that it needed to be done, he’s a jackass) when you want to quote something you can type “quote” in square brackets (these: “[” and “]”, and then end it with “/quote” in square brackets.</p>

It is obvious from this post that some students don’t, either. It’s easier to get away with a condescending attitude when you are right.</p>

[quote ]
and
[/quote ]
are the correct tags to surround quoted text with (remove the space between the e and the ]), just in case QwertyKey’s explanation was unclear. And the correct terminology in this case is BBCode, a simplified markup language that the forum software converts into HTML tags for the benefit of your web browser.</p>

<p>I love this thread. I wonder what happened to the OP.</p>

7

<p>I thought this thread was closed!</p>

8

<p>There was a similar thread that was. The other thread was the OP’s second, where he showed the directions correctly. So this thread will probably be locked soon.</p>

9

<p>The OP posted the same thing in the cafe, and it was closed. I guess they were looking for some more constructive :slight_smile: comments.</p>

<p>It was worth clicking this thread just to read “Wah Lah”!!</p>

<p>ROFL</p>

<p>I have never done this before, so I’m going to try.</p>

<p>Wah Lah!! It worked! I’m trainable.</p>

13

<p>Why do I have the feeling that saying Wah Lah is going to catch on here? Too funny!</p>

<p>Way to go! Good for you, BUandBC82! Or as they say in French, Two shay ;)</p>

<p>*** OOh, I just went over to the closed thread and saw that another poster (scansmom) also gave the “two shay” analogy-- and spelled it the same! Great minds!!</p>

<p>And for any parent who wants to know how to do the </p>

<p>As an “alumnae” (don’t you love it when the kids use male/female; singular and plural as though they were interchangeable) of the “learn it as you go school of internet usage” I myself appreciate a good lesson on quotes. Or more accurately- quotation.</p>

<p>Two Shay. I laughed so hard I fell of my chair.</p>
