When posting messages on scoobynet, how do i put in clickable links, for instance, this was done with the right click copy and paste method, and obviously isn't clickable!

do this: [ url ] url [ /url ]

Just remove the spaces between brackets.

So I would type

[ url ]http://www.ruellan.co.uk[ /url ]

Thumbs down

WTF is www.ruellan.co.uk? Just wondering, as you used it as a demo link.

I followed the link, but it's got a ****e flash intro which is 1Mb and has no 'skip' button. It wouldn't be a problem (I've got a fast link) but it looks like the server it's on has limited bandwidth - I gave up after waiting 30 seconds for it to finish loading...

My link isn't the problem. It's a 2Mb pipe, and I've downloaded the entire OfficeXP cd in about 40 minutes using the same link before.

Perhaps you might want to consider a 'skip' link to avoid the intro?

I've managed to load it now though. Not bad, although if you're going to have a 'music off' switch it's a bit pointless if there's still sound.
