How to add a link thingy...
Use the following format...
url=http://your-link.com/xyz.html]Your link text[/url]
Trouble logging in?
Log using the login box at the top right hand corner, or via http://www.rugbynetwork.net/boards/login/s96.htm -- a successful login will automatically set a permanent cookie that remembers who you are if your browser's privacy setting is set correctly (medium high or lower)
Don't try logging in via www.waspies.net or www.drunkenwasps.com as the cookie may not recognise those domains!
If you can't remember your password...
Go to: http://www.rugbynetwork.net/boards/login/s96.htm and enter the email address associated with your profile in the second box labelled: Did you forget your password?, so that Sportnetwork can email your password to you.
How to add an image...
First you need a picture on a website somewhere in the form http://www.xyz.com /picture.jpg (the picture can be in any of the standard formats, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, even the bandwidth hogging BMP or bitmap format).
Then in the message composition window click the button with the mountains/sun.
You will get a popup box which has "http://" filled in. You just need to add the rest as above to point to your picture, or easier still, delete the http:// bit and paste in the location of the image. Alternatively, enter the code in the following form:
[img]http://www.sportnetwork.net/mainadmin/img/961175848466.gif[/img]
Press the "OK" button and providing you have typed in the correct address for the picture, when you post it will appear.
How to add an image to your signature...
You can add an image to your profile in a similar way. Go to "Control Centre -> Edit Signature and addthe location of the image in the following format:
[img]http://www.sportnetwork.net/mainadmin/img/961175848466.gif[/img]
And if you want to get really complicated, you can add a clickable image link to a web page, eg:
[url=http://www.xyz.com/link.html][img]http://www.xyz.com/image.gif[/img][/url]
