This is an embarrassing question from a 160+ -time poster, but just how do I make a pasted link that I insert in a post into a hyperlink?

And while I'm debasing myself, where do you other posters get access to text-formatting, i.e., italics, bold, etc. I have this access in mail and word programs--and other forums (fora?), of course, but don't see it available on ADT.

I'm no newbie, but neither am I a techno-geek (as proven above).

[ url = http://someurl.com ]this is a link [ /url] (remove the spaces in the brackets to make it work)

There is no access to font colors, sizes. For info on what's available click the "Markup Text" link under the posting text entry box when typing up a post.

Now I'm really embarrassed for not reading the FAQ s.

I guess that's why I get lost so often. I'm waaay too smart to ask directions.

Thanks a lot, guys.

I used to be lazy and just cut and past from the FAQ and then cut & paste what I wanted written into what I had just copied. But since I started using Firefox, I got even lazier and now utilize the BBCode Extension, which does everything for me.

Thanks, Bill. I got Firefox downloaded as part of a Google-pack about a month ago and of course being the lazy fuck I am, haven't gotten around to getting set up with it.

Re this thread header, I'll throw in two more (simpleton) questions:

1) Is Firefox an actual alternative to (replacement for) IE?

2) How much of a nightmare is it to import to FF all my IE bookmarks & settings, etc.?

1. Yes. You can view nearly any site with FF without problems.

2. It's very easy. FF gives you this option when you install it.

There's no reason why you can't have both on your computer. That's what I have. I also have Opera (which is free now too)!

I use Firefox almost exclusively now. I'll use IE just to check what a site I'm working on looks like in IE. Other than that reason I would never use IE.

Thanks, Drew and Snowman.

Snowman, how's your forum going? I'm really not a raincoater and therefore seldom log on these days, but I admired your administration of the site.

One nice thing about Firefox is that it imports your history too. I have a thread about best extentions to get in this forum. It could help you customize.

Thanks Fat, hope it was helpful. Also, thanks for the kind words. The forum is going very well and is busier than ever. BTW, I think offers something for most porn fans, not just raincoaters at this point.
