Ok how to post a link, by grant garvey,

First do not do ths:
[code:3t0etjh6]http://www.grantgarvey.com<a href="http://




[/code:3t0etjh6]

This is what I've seen several of you do on the site, type in a url then hit the url button

What it does is it leaves the "a" tag open which is not a good thing.

It will now parse your input so the layout can't get screwed up anymore.

Here is the correct way
hit the url button which will bring this up: (minus the comment arrows)[code:3t0etjh6]
<a href="http://

[/code:3t0etjh6]
then type your ulr in after the "http://" prompt
after that hit the url button again to close the tag:

[code:3t0etjh6]
">here</a>

[/code:3t0etjh6]

or you can just do it manually like this:[code:3t0etjh6]<a href="http://www.grantgrvey.com">grantgarvey.com</a>

[/code:3t0etjh6]
So if you do it with the built in url tag generator you get this here

And if you do it yourself:
grantgarvey.com
[code:3t0etjh6]<;a href="http://Your site here">The text your want to appear here</a>
[/code:3t0etjh6]

also be sure http:// is only there once.

if you use any button at the top (B, i , u, Quote, Img,Url ....) You have to hit the button twice once to open the tag, type in your content, then close the tag.

And any post that doesn't have properly formatted html will be deleted

athough now it should filter html before it displays it, So i don't think it will screw up the forum anymore if you do it wrong.

edit: links now use bbcode i.e.[code:3t0etjh6] http://www.example.com[/code:3t0etjh6]

Thanks,
Grant

Yeah you might need to change some settings, I can look at it sometime too, but somewhere you can set your midi playback device, and it's either the Audigy or your built-in sound card, look around in the control panel, in the sounds and audio devices. click the audio tab, and play with that.
