Post by AlanL » Sat Jun 23, 2007 6:05 am

I now have 7 bookmarked forums I am registered for specifically addressing the Zed series of BMWs. Pretty amazing considering the actual numbers of these cars out on the roads.

Heaven only knows how I am ever going to find the time to keep up with all of them but this certainly beats the alternative of no internet groups at all. :mrgreen:

Since Z4um went down, everyone scattered and a few new forums popped up. After a little bit of time, it should congeal into a few good overall forums and probably a couple specialty/local types.

I think a lot of the others will become obsolete. I can't believe how busy this forum has become! Nice job, sp3ctre, and to all the members.

Being the contact ho that I am. I generally have one main forun ( Z4-forum ) and I still visit the others to inform other Z's of events and post links to the main post.

What I need to learn, is how to post a link to something without actually showing the path. Can one of you data gods help me with that? :bow: Instead of showing the http path, say have a word with that link within the word. I'm most likely not explaining this very well.

Are you refering to being able to have a word within your post being a link to something else?

For example a link to a fire-n-ice thread response like this one?

If you hold your mouse pointer over the URL button while you are composing a message it shows you that you can use the syntax [url=http://yourURLhere]linked text[/u r l ] to display it. I added in the spaces on the last [/ur l] so it would not try to actually perform this in the example.

It did take me 45 min to stop fat fingering it. Was making it harder than it needed to be.

You the man! :w00t: :bow:
