| [slm] Ok so you're looking for that old thread on ******** and cant' find it.??!! Here are some steps from the [url=http://www.jannah.org/cgi-bin/madina/YaBB.pl?board=archives;action=display;num=1023177153] old thread how to be cool like se7en[/url] and some new steps on 'how to be cool like jannah' :D =========================================================== as salaamu alaykum :-X Have you seen one of se7en's posts that looks like this: [quote] actually, we have discussed this before [url=xxx]here[/url].. [/quote] and thought to yourself WOW :o I wish I could be cool like se7en and know how to do that? 8) Now, I'll show you how in two easy steps ;D [glow=red,2,300]1. Search the old threads.[/glow] I'm sure you all have experience with the search feature on the old board, and know that it is.. umm.. lacking :) What works though, is to search for a *unique word* that can be found in the discussion that you're looking for, that won't be found in any others. For example, if you're looking for that old discussion we had on Eid gifts, you shouldn't search "eid" or "gifts" (you'll get tons of responses!) Instead.. a good search word would be "Lindt" :) The trick is to remember a unique word like that from the discussion in order to get the search engine to work for you. Also, the "search all forums" option does not work, so you need to search by individual forum. Keep in mind that some discussions were re-named and moved to the ark, and that some discussions took place in weird places, so it might be a good idea to search more than one forum for what you're looking for. [glow=red,2,300]2. Link it[/glow] There are two ways to link on the message board. The first way is to just type out the address. (http://www.jannah.org, www.yahoo.com, etc) The second way to link is often times referred to as "the se7en style link", or for short "the []". This type of link uses the tags [ u r l = ] and [ / u r l ] (without the spaces.) The address of the link goes immediately after the equal sign, and the words you want to use to represent the link ("here" or "whatever the link is named") go in between the two tags. For example: [ u r l = http://www.jannah.org ] here [ / u r l ] becomes [url=http://www.jannah.org]here[/url] This type is useful if you want to bring up a link in the middle of a sentence, or if an address is very long. And there you have it.. two easy steps that'll change you from ??? to :-[ in just seconds! Hope this is of help inshaAllah ;) If so, just send your 49.99 to: Se7en de La Link 123 Sesame St Albany, Madina [] wasalaam [] |
