User page: html sandbox / home Will be building a user's guide here as we go. In the meantime, please feel free to post your notes on using the system here.

Some of this won't make any sense until we're able to use html in our posts.

Most of the folks that'll eventually be here will have been exposed to basic HTML already, via the FR main site. I reckon some of the tutorial material will be geared to MyFRpage-specifics RE what will work and where.

That list is looking good. This site will indeed be a reach for those of us (including me) who have grown accustomed to wysiwyg. I think it's a good reach.

If we have a like button - what about a hate button?? just kidding - (sorta)

Jim Robinson:
Well, there will be an unlike. Hate is a strong word. Acually, unlike removes your previous like.

Now THAT'S a todo list. I understand maybe a quarter of it, if that.

Toyed around with the idea of a "Dislike" button, ie, a boo button. But that's kind of overkill.

I need to get rid of the italics whenever I post an article.

As it is right now, it's doubtful I will have the most posts here, and that is a GOOD thing.

I'm hoping John can help me with a routine to strip them out and replace them with normal characters before they're posted. I believe they are Miscrosoft Word "smart characters" that are embedded in the text for quotes, apostrophes, long dashes, "thin spaces," etc, and they don't work very well when cut and pasted to forums and web pages like this. In the meantime, all we can do is edit them out manually. Google search: "Microsoft smart characters"

OKay. I almost edited all of them out in my last article. Missed a couple of em, dang it. Also, I see my errors in posting articles. I can't do it the FR way. Here, I have to post the title first, before anything else,

What does the "embed" link above the word "comment" do? I don't want to experiment by clicking on it, it may embed me on this page.

Onyx: when you click on the link to post an article and the form comes up, click the link entitled "Click here for additional source or embedded photo or video input fields" and it'll open up the rest of the "article source" form fields for you.

If you have anything in your hand or in your pocket, DO NOT click "embed". In fact, if there is ANY metal or plastic on your person, avoid EMBED at all costs. Likewise if you are hanging out with Justin Bieber. True story.

Syncro: Go ahead and post into the embed field. We have one of those fancy new 3-d printers installed and it will print a clone of you.

OKay Jim, but I have to first post the article's title That's the reason, I was getting the "NO TITLE." At FR, I post everything else before I add the title. Yes, I'm weird.
Smashed his foot up pretty bad, couldn't walk or work for months. Came around the corner at 60mph and there was the bear galloping across the road. The kid looked him in the eye and then bam...killed the bear instantly and he managed to fishtail long enough so he could live through it with the mashed up foot and some pretty gnarly road rash...which is just a minor annoyance to him as he is a dirt bike rider also.
I was flying over his place on my majik carpet and took this picture.
Awe Some!
Will give the password to this account to any of you who would wish to edit the sandbox pages.
Likewise, if anyone wants to take responsibility for editing a club, chapter or group page, please let me know.
What a good idea.

Jim will there be a "reply to" function?
yes, and ping lists. tags too.
and "like"
How about FReepmail or equivalent? A PM function.
*** Keep in mind I ain't whining about anything like an Obama-phone user who is pissed at the lack of HD graphics on his phone.
Yup. All in the planning stage. Plus chat.

LOL...Hay syncro!
humblegunner: Ewww at EMBED with the Beeb!
Jim: LOL, I'm already a clone!
Hay hiya onyx!
Testing embed. Picture of my youngest son surf fishing at Usal beach.
I LIKE!
Bear down near the Smokies got his half wit head stuck in a mayonnaise jar. IIRC, they stunned him and got the jar off after a few days.
This is a bear my son killed on Hwy 101 in Northern California a few years ago.
Can mistake me for a speed bump!
Hope nobody was hurt but the bear...

LOL!

His dirt track looks just like a bear!
