SeeMoe - try this format
url=www.bogleheads.org-or whatever web site you want]then whatever title you want here or repeat the web site[/url
note - I did not put the brackets at the beginning or the end because I wanted to illustrate the middle, but there needs to be a [ before the url and a ] at the very end for the whole thing to work.

Christine knows the code lingo better and explains it this way:

Thank you!
Clearing the browser cache is always a nail-biter for me - who knows what will be deleted in the inner workings of the cache??

Let's do it this way:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/index.html]This is Money[/url]

will show as: This is Money

This is a more complicated format than what can be done with the built-in forum URL button.

I'm using a browser extension called Make Link for Firefox, or Create Link on Chrome.

Hi in_reality,

No apology needed. I was laughing so hard =) at how creative you three were, in response to me trying to ascertain if my computer would let me post here. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, which keeps things interesting.

Looks too risky and too complicated.

Quoting the post you are responding to is also easy. Just hit the quote button before you reply.

Edit: corrected typo

Editing a post is also easy. If you made typo or want to make clarification, no problem! Just hit the Edit button. Common usage requires that you put a note at the end saying what you edited, but it's totally up to you!

This is a test reply, and a question or two.
How do we contact an Administrator? I cannot find the "contact us" link mentioned in the last FAQ.
Also, I saw a few topics that were questions for a panel. Are any Answres but the panels posted anywhere to be able to read them?
Thank you.

Not sure if this is the official best practices way, but you could always "report" your own post. Just click the exclamation point in the upper right corner of your post and follow on from there.

Reporting a post does work, but that feature is better intended to flag issues that need immediate attention. The best way to contact an administrator is by PM'ing one of the global moderators listed in The team link at the bottom of every forum page.

If you don't get a response, then report the post and someone will take care of it.

In addition to moderating (edit posts, etc.), moderators can do some administrative functions such as changing a username. A site admin (like me) does everything a moderator can do, as well as administrate the overall forum.

The panel questions are for the upcoming Bogleheads® Conference. <-- See this wiki page for links to the conference material.

Testing indentation

Two space indention 1(Edited this line)
Two space indention 2
Tab indention 1
Tab indention 2

[LadyGeek]

Sorry, tabs and spaces won't do indentation. That's how the forum software works. Why, I have no idea.

If you want to create an indented list, use the List button in the editing toolbar like this:

Code: Select all

[list]
[*]Item 1
[*]item 2
[*]item 3
[/list]

Results in:

• Item 1
• item 2
• item 3

[Mudpuppy]

You can also use the code tag for indentation with spaces and tabs.

Code: Select all

  two spaces
	tab

Doesn't look too pretty in-line though.

[LadyGeek]

^^^ This is a "feature" of the phpBB forum software, which truncates (chops off) the front part of the URL. Why? I have no idea.

The link for your post is:

Code: Select all

https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3223640#p3223640

But displayed as: viewtopic.php?p=3223640#p3223640

The software only does this for forum links. Other links are not affected, like this one: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Main_Page

[Bylo Selhi]

Why? I have no idea... The software only does this for forum links. Other links are not affected, like this one: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Main_Page

I'll venture a WAG: phpBB forum links all start with the same prefix, i.e. https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php... in the case of this forum. That provides little info about what follows. So if someone posts a series of them they'd all look the same. By showing only the trailing part of the URL it's much easier to distinguish these types of links from one another, i.e. by looking at the topic and post numbers at the end.

Is there a prize for correct answers?

P.S. Observant lurkers may have noticed that I managed to dupe the forum software into showing the prefix part of a forum link. I did that by italicizing the "://" in the URL. Without that hack it would have appeared as viewtopic.php...
