*** JWD For Newbies *** 1. Introduction 1. Introduction Hopefully this little tutorial/guide effort will be accurate. Mainly, this is about advanced posting features, but I figured it would be good to include a little bit of the history and famous people on this site as well, in order for new people to get up to speed more quickly. Thanks for your time in reading this, guys 2. Do's and Don'ts. These are just a few little things that you might want to think about when posting on JWD. Of course, feel free to correct me on any of this. DO use a spellchecker - it's a painless way to make sure your posts look neat and professional. There are free word processing programs such as Abiword which have built-in spellcheckers. DON'T post a topic and then never reply to any of the other posters who post on your thread. This is Bad Form, and a Sign Of Trolling. 3. Some important people on this site. There have been many very valuable contributors to this site - a few of the links below are to the threads created by those people. It would probably be beneficial for you to page through some of these threads, as many of them have excellent research material in them. Note that these are just the names that came off the top of my head - and I've probably left out many worthy posters. Simon - webmaster of this site! SilentLambs (Bill Bowen) Maximus 4. Acronyms and their explanations, and perhaps a bit of history. We'll start with ones that are common across the wild Web: LOL - The most common one - Laughing Out Loud. Now for some words specific to this site and any other Anti-ridden site Dub - Abbreviation for "Jehovah's Witness", taking their name from a ponderous 5 syllables down to ONE! Please see Farkel's brilliant "Watchtower Terminology" post for more Dub terms and sayings! 5. Streaming Media. Simon has put several different television programmes, like Dateline and Panorama, on this site for us to watch youll need Windows Media Player to view them. They are pretty low-res, but they do get the point across! Heres a LINK. 6. Advanced posting - using images, embedding pages, smilies, quoting, and so forth. This is probably going to be the longest chapter of them all! The image below is a reference: 1. Insert hyperlink. Select your text that you want to link with the mouse, and then click this. A dialog will pop up that will allow you to enter and address, and VIOLA, you have a hyperlink. 2. Embed Page. Use this to embed an ENTIRE page into your post be careful with this! Same procedure as above, except you dont have to highlight anything. 3. Insert Image From Web. Use this to insert an image from a server somewhere on the web, such as Strike9. Youll need to know the location of your image first. 4. Embed Image from file. This isnt working yet, apparently. 5. Insert Smilie. This only inserts the default smilie. Here is a list of smilies as well as the codes for them that you can type in instead: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/chat/chatHelp.asp Also note that you have to put SQUARE BRACKETS around these codes in order for them to work, like so [ :) ]. (No spaces in real smilies tho). 6. Quotes. Select the text you want to turn into a quote, then press this button. 7. Highlight. This highlights any text youve got selected, only in yellow at the moment! 8. Text colour. Any selected text is changed to the colour here (currently only red). 9. Increase indent. Use this to put extra space before each line of your post. 10. Use this to decrease the amount of space above. For instance, if you had a paragraph with a heading, youd increase the body of the paragraph by one indent, to separate it from the rest of your post. 11. Bullet mode. Not used to kill posts, but rather to enable bullets, for bulleted lists. Each time you want another bullet, just press Enter. 12. Numbered Bullet Mode. Same as above, just with numbers instead of dots. 13. Right Justify. Sticks your entire paragraph on the right of the text block. 14. Center Text. All highlighted text will be centered. 15. Left Justify The default text justification mode. 16. Striked Out Text Highlight your text, then click this to put a line through it. Very useful for things like 17. Underline Text Puts a line underneath every character and space of any highlighted text. 18. Italicized Text Italicizes text. 19. Bold Text Makes the selection bold. 20. Font Size You can only select the standard Web sizes for any highlighted text here. Use it to change the size of paragraph headers and so forth. 21. Font Use this to choose a different font for any selected text. Notice that when I say highlighted, I mean text which has been selected using the mouse or the keyboard. | ||
Dude, like, number 6, man!
well hokked oan phonixe wokked phor mei! ...that little "tool" bar that people are talking about...is NO WHERE on my computer...or this website THROUGH my computer...that's the fisrt time i've ever seen a picture of that...so...i'm SORRY if i looked STUPID and asked questions ...but that tool bar is no where to be found. Perhaps i need to upgrade to 2000..instead of 98 or whatever....nevermind i'll shut up so people dont' get all ticked off ~Fs p.s. the ONLY reason i was able to do "bold" text is because someone told me at the beginning of the word you want to be bold..put open and close brackets with b in the middle at the end of what you want bolded...put open bracket then this: / then b then close bracket. Same with italics And now i see that most people have a tool bar that they just click and BAM! it's bold. ...as i said..i've never see a tool bar as you've shown me...before.

5Shadows...sometimes it takes a while to load. Leave the page for a few minutes, and see if it appears...

you know what, fiveshadows? i never see the little icons either. no matter how long i wait. so i just sort of hunt and peck. after a while you start remembering them simply from their placement on the toolbar, like bold, italic, etc. on the bottom left, for example. (ooh i didn't know you could do a spell-check!)
p.s. you don't look stupid. not one bit.
Hi Five: It looks like everyone provided good info. The white bubble is just to the right of the smiley face.
When you click on post reply you will see it in the tool bar above the text section.
The white bubble has little quote marks in it ...
