THREADS - Hints and Tips for users.

If you're using THREADS on an ezSite; here are some hints and tips for you as a user:.....

You can PARAGRAPH format your post by hitting Enter twice between the lines in your post. - If you can see a completely blank line between your text, then this will post as a paragraph break. - It's worth noting that a single ENTER will not break you post at all. It will flow on the same line as the previous line with no break.

When posting images with your post (optional) you can upload any .GIF or .JPG file. These images MUST have a file extension of .JPG or .GIF in their filenames. - This DOES work from a Macintosh, you may need to rename your files so that you can see a .GIF or .JPG at the end of the filename. ie: MYPIC.JPG or MYPIC.GIF :) - If you're changing the filename of your image, make sure you use the correct extension otherwise thumbnailing won't work.

If you want to post a follow up post to something you've read in these forums, use the 'Follow up post' area at the BOTTOM of that page.

If you're going to post a follow up which is Off-Topic, consider starting a NEW Thread. - You can do this using the link at the top of the page. "Add a new thread inside ...xxxx..."

Providing an email address is optional, however, it always helps people to take your post more seriously if they know who you are. - An anonymous comment is often overlooked as being from someone who may be wasting the time of the readers. If you have a strong feeling on an issue then put your name by it, people will respond more positively if they know who they are writing to.

When you provide your email address, we display it using some special character masking. ie: is displayed to the browser as: & lt;chris& #64;webdes& #46;co& #46;nz& gt; which should make it a lot harder for webcrawlers to capture email addresses for use in spam.
