Two things

[Shewie]

1. How do I use non BCUK smileys in threads, do I need web space to upload them to ? If I have got space how do I do it ?

2. How do I link a word to a web page rather than pasting the link itself ?

upload the smiley to a picture hosting page like photobucket, and paste in the same way as you do for a picture

2. How do I link a word to a web page rather pasting the link itself ?

when you use the insert link icon (a globe with a chain link below it) you get a box that you type/paste your link into. when you hit 'OK' the link appears in the message text, but half of it is highlighted - this is what is visible on the message - overwrite it with the word / phrase you want to use

Right click the picture and copy image location.

For smilies I just copy and paste the url directly into the reply (or o.p). On occasion I may need to add [img] (before) and [/img] (after) to the url - I didn't know that folk uploaded smilies to image hosts .

It turns this:



Into this:

I just host a few on my own web space so I don't have to go hunting for them.

As you say you can just paste them from wherever you find them.

I know what you mean - I have a couple of pages 'favourited' with an explanation title.
