How DO you get one of those funky Pop-up lists everybody has?

Hi Captain AJ Rimmer

I think you're looking for this <./>GuideML-ITEM-LIST</.>.



Amy the Ant

Thanx Amy, just one more thing, I've seen a lot of the ACE's have an ACE badge on there PS, apart from the badge in the column to the right.
Were the smeg can you get that, and how?
Sorry to bother with these stupid questions, but I wanna know

The badges appear automatically when you're accepted as a volunteer. Talk to Abi, perhaps she can tell you if something has gone wrong with the system.



Amy

Oh, I've read that again. You mean other than in the Data Box.

You can put that in yourself. Right click on your badge to find the blob number and then insert it like any other picture.

I'm really not doing very well tonight. That doesn't work on your page but it does on the badge on the Aces page. The blob number is B340388.

Thank you kindly, Amy!

Can you do the same thing with scout badges?

Yes. Head to the badge on the scouts page and right click to get the blob number.

Were do you find this stuff like the item-list?

The <./>NamedEntries</.> page makes a good index. You can find all sorts of things there.



Amy the Ant

I really tried to find it on my own this time-but...
How do you get those nice pics that appear automatically in conv. forums?
Example:The campsite

Hello?

*yikes*

Don't creep up on me like that. What was the question again?

In some entries(Clubs and societies)Ther is some knid of thigny that makes a picture appear at every new con. forum.
For example, the campsite (no link sorry)

To make a link you just copy and paste the bit of the URL that comes after the final slash. Like this: F45817?thread=199686

To make pictures, smileys or text appear at the top of each conversation in a forum you use the tag between the and tags on the Guide Entry. See <./>GuideML-ThreadIntro</.> for more information and links to similar tags.

The code used on the The Campsite page (A370487) is:





A good way to find out how things are done is to inspect the code of a page. To inspect the code of The Campsite you type test370487 after the final slash of the URL. That is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/skin/A370487



Amy

You are the best Amy!

That last link should be http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/skin/test370487

What about that thing that makes the smileys move?

That would be the tag.

See A789942.

The tag only works in Internet Explorer browsers.

I never offer further help on this tag due to a severe allergy .
