i want to know how to insert a link, to my submissions on Lit, into my profile. i either want it to show when my profile is clicked on, or to be included automatically in any of my posts. i am an internet neophyte, so i need this simplified as much as possible.:eek:
thanx
 
Copy the bold text in the next line

URL="http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=892864&page=submissions"]My wonderful stories[/URL

Got to your edit signature page via the userCP or Quicklinks on any forum page.

Type two square brackets: []

Paste the copied text from step one in between the brackets with no extra spaces.

Preview your signature and save it.

The text "My wonderful stories" can be edited to say whatever you think will encourage the most traffic.

For further information about using vBulleten's vB codes, look here: (from the bottom left corner of every forum page) "vB code is On"
 
use Mr.Harold's link

just add [] on both sides and paste it in edit signature. [thats the most convenient thing]
===========
how to add links:-
===========
just copy paste the URL from the website e.g.
Lit.main forum
http://forum.literotica.com/index.php

that's all. but then you ve to tell the buddy that it's website of so and so..
if you want a nice looking thing like this

Lit. main board
then remembre the code



I mean use [] instead of {}

now if you want those stories on your profile then go to UserCP>Signature>paste the code there.

========================
also for pasting links in forums:-
either you remember the code [url]or..

1. click on USERCP.

edit options> in the text formatting section>select the advanced text editor >save chances.

now when you type to post something there will be a nice toolbar..for pasting links with description
========================
even more simpler

if u are using firefox then ..
use this free add-on toolbar..useful in every forum

[url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4763]Text Formatting toolbar

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/images/preview/4763/1

its only 52 KB
no worries completely free and safe..cause its from official firefox site.
i use this add on cause its faster surfing useing it, rather than waiting for the Lit.erotica's advanced text editor to appear.

in you use this add-on then disable the advanced text editor of Literotica :D
========================

I've an notepad document in my hard disk named litlinks.txt
and I save my url link formatted texts there
so whenever I want to paste my links anywhere..i just copy paste it from there..
saves a lot time!!

You can also:

1) Type the text that you want to appear, e.g. My stories

2) Highlight that text

3) Click the
createlink.gif
button.

4) Paste (press Ctrl and V) the URL of the page you want to link to into the text box that appears and click OK.

5) Click somewhere else on the text box BEFORE you type anything else. If you don't click elsewhere, your link text will be replaced with whatever you start typing because that text is automatically highlighted when you insert a link.

Or, you can do the same type of thing, but:

1) Click the Link button (above icon).

2) Paste your URL in the box that pops up and click OK.

3) Start typing the text you want to appear immediately, before you click anywhere else in the text box.
 
smooches....

:kiss::rose::kiss:smooches to you all for helping me in my perpetual state of ignorance regarding all things technological. you are all faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab-u-lous dahlings!!!!!
i am way more excited about this than i have any right to be, but i finally nailed it guys. i got my link inserted into my sig . check it out for yourselves.......this was your project too :nana::nana::nana::nana::nana: i'm so ecsatic, if i had monopoly money, none of you would ever have to work again:D
(but seriously, i really appreciate all the help...thx guys...and dolls)
 
Do you just want the link (like you have now), or do you want the link to say something?

If you want it to say something, copy this, remove the asterisks at the beginning and end and change 'My Submissions' to whatever you want it to say:
[*URL="http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=892864&page=submissions"]My Submissions[/URL*]

In your sig, it'll look like:
My Submissions
 
you're welcome

but as Ms.Erica said > you can make it more cool signature like this:-

url=http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=892864&page=submissions]My story submissions![/url


I mean copy paste above thing in your signature box and put [] on both sides so it looks like this

My story submissions!

thanx

mission 1 is complete.
but mission 2 is remaining, as most people here have the signatures disabled
so your signature will be automatically posted in every thread you post..but other members may not see it. [cause they disabled signatures]
so here is the trick:-

save the signature code in a notepad document etc.
and copy paste the code in PM/post incase you want someone to see it :)
also...for better advertisements .... post that code everywhere you post aka thread spamming.
:D that used to be my favorite activity :D

always ahead of me.....

again, a million thanx. my link is now aesthetically appealing as well, and oh so girly....just the way i like it. any tips on how to change the color the link is written in? i would have left well enough alone, but y'all are beyond charitable...i figure i may as well absorb all i can while my cluelessness is still cute.:D
 
Did you highlight and use the little buttons above the text box to make it Bold and Italic?

If so, highlight the text again, and click the
color.gif
button (but it'll have a black bar and arrow next to it - it's to the right of "Fonts" and "Size"), then select the color you want.

The code will look like this, without the spaces:

[COLOR="Blue" ]Blue text[/COLOR ]

Output:

[COLOR="Blue"]Blue text[/COLOR]
 
thanks ms.erika......i've modified the color. i'm so excited, i could do cartwheels. next, i'm gonna set my carrier pigeons free and start dropping my letters into those blue metal boxes on the street. :D

It's looking good!

Now remember to use your new powers for good instead of evil. ;)

Using a touch of color here and there for emphasis,

vs.
Attention-whoring by posting everything in obnoxious, brightly-colored, bold or large font.

go to firefox > option >fonts and colors>advance>untick the button "allow webpage to use their own colors"

that helps me save my self from the 'bright color attention whoring' :D
although I don't mind pimping my opinions with size 3 bold underlined fonts :D

ahhh......with my newly-learned tricks and my slightly darker colors, i feel only "mildly whorish". does this make me in touch with my inner-text slut? :D
