This One Takes The Cake.
Permalink  

I have been witness to a lot of drunken fools, and at times, been one myself, but this dropkick takes the cake.

The really annoying thing here is, if he had been taken, someone else would have had to go find the remains and risk their own lives doing so.  disbeliefdisbelief

Simply Highlight the URL address then copy.
Then paste it in the forum.
You will find that it comes up underlined like mine above automatically.
Hope this helps.

That's what gets me really p------ed off Glassies.  The Croc usually gets the blame, although some people are starting to wake up, thank goodness.

Unfortunately, there will always be IDIOTS.

Cheers,

If using Firefox, to insert a hyperlink (techietalk for a link to a webpage) in your text....

1. copy the link and paste it into the text
2. highlight the copied text
3. click on the icon above the text box that looks like a little chain link thingy. the "inset/edit link" dialogue box will appear
4. paste the previously copied link into the "link URL" box, then click on "insert" and, voila, your link will now be underlined indicating that it's now a hyperlink....

e.g http://www.ntnews.com.au//article/2010/06/05/153401_ntnews.html

note that you can highlight other text as in step 2 and then that text becomes the hyperlink...e.g.

"NT News story"

Highlight the text "NT News story"

do steps 3 and 4 above and again voila, it becomes

NT News Story

Now to try it to see if I got it right....count the edits to see how many times I stuffed it up!

As they say, John: "Every day is a school day"

Unfortunately there are always those who don't listen in class!

Never too old to learn something new Rolly, I know people who have been caravanning for over 20 years and they reckon they still don't know it all.

We can all learn something from other people.
