    LUCYDU52'S LINK...
    From Lucydu52's link-less good value suggestion a couple above,no probs...

    Nightmare on Elm Street - 7 Disc Collector's Edition

    BTW Lucydu52(and other posters) being a regular poster I often find that if I add a link to an already written post,it adds the link but also doubles up all the text that I have written as part of the link:face-surprised:This obviously might not apply to a lot of users.

    Even if I put the link in first I have to trim off 2-3 double-ups of my link title every post.i.e.'Star Trek Animated Series' after posting comes out...

    'Star Trek Animated Series' 'Star Trek Animated Series' 'Star Trek Animated Series'
    -With the middle one appearing to be the link.

    I personally trim off the 1st and last as the middle one is highlighted in blue - that's your link.
    This trick works okay for me - it just takes a little trial and error, part of the trick is knowing which parts of the text to trim off so that your link doesn't disappear:face-cry:
    It might be because I'm on xp service pack 1 or something apparently incidental.Some members might experience no problems whatsoever of course.

    BTW - I find if you ARE having problems posting links - I find it's easiest to add your link(and pic if so be it) first .Then check your link(s) by posting your unfinished comment and then just editing your post to add your text afterward - I push the links down the page to allow for the text in the top part - this way you also eliminate the risk of wrecking half an hours worth of typing:face-angry:
    Another method is to copy and paste your link with the right-click manual method and just placing it onto the page - comes out roughly like this....http://www.dvdcollections.co.uk/search/fetchPrices.php?id=.............. - this works fine aswell,just doesn't look as smooth:face-cool:

    Any other members feel free to PM me with your probs with posting if you want an honest personal opinion . I like you have the user end experience and want the best for this site and it's users - and I may have a couple of tricks up my sleeve hopefully:face-wink:

    Talking of good value deals ? How about a good dust-up with the Steven Seagal Legacy.

    £14.99 at HMV
    Next best £24.97 at Amazon
    Steven Seagal DVD Legacy 8-Disc box set

    Set includes 8 films on 8-discs in presentable box set packaging...
    Nico
    Out For Justice
    Under Siege
    Under Siege 2
    The Glimmer Man
    Executive Decision
    Fire Down Below
    Exit Wounds

    I've just ordered one as my firsty xmas present of the year for my Mum.
    She's actually a sweet , kind , polite person - but she does like to watch a bit of 'Seagal justice' dealt out to the usual suspects.
    Especially when he snaps arms,legs,fingers or toes with pool cues,baseball bats and the like...meatcleaver on a butcher anyone ? There's always a satisfying CRACK!

    Not for the purists , but all it takes is bit of arthouse cinema afterwards to cleanse ones-self:face-devil:
    PM me if you want this copy/pasted on the main forum page Grant.

    Good to see some new entries coming in gra1952, lucydu52 and robtallica52 :D

    Sorry about the problems you had with the links lucydu52 and robtallica.

    I haven't been aware of the problem before as it's always work fine for me but just realised it's because I'm using the Firefox browser.

    I just tried posting and editing a link in Internet Explorer 7 and got the same problems you talked about. Not good and can imagine pretty frustrating to work around.

    I'll be looking into a solution to why it's happening so in the meantime it might be easier to just paste the links in like Robtallica said or use Firefox instead of IE.

    Sorry about the problem folks, hopefully can find a fix soon.

    Grant

    Thought I was just being a bit stupid when it came to the posting of the links. Makes me feel a bit better that it is more of a techy thing. How do you do the straightforward links like above please ?

    • CommentTimeOct 14th 2007 edited
     

    Just a pity I'm not techy enough to be able to fix it yet :face-confused:

    To post a link like the one above, just copy and paste as normal, example below:

    highlight the web address (link) from the top of the page you want to link to - then hold down the 'Control' key and press 'c' - this will copy the link.

    Then when you're writing your comment just hold down the 'Control' key and press 'v' - this will paste the link into your comments.

    Let me know if you have any problems.

    Looks like you can buy the Thunderbirds in 2 parts for cheaper. I suppose it depends on what you like and the extras you get. I would personally prefer a complete set but if money is an issue I think you can get all the episodes for just under £30.00 in two seperate packs.

    Have you got the hang of posting yet Lucydu52 ? :face-monkey:

    Some good suggestions though.The x-men 1.5 is a good find , if I was an x-men fan I would definately get it - not exactly a risk either .

    What can you get for £3.59 nowadays ? a sarnie from a petrol station probably's your best bet without much change left over...

    Just like the England rugby team - well played in injury time Lucydu52.

    Great to see the forum filling up smoothly too BTW - for Grant and all the members .It'll be on fire soon at this rate:face-smile:

    It should get easier to spot those good/freak often short-term prices which you can't miss out on , the more scouts (or field agents as I like to think of them) the more chances to spot good deals for everyone.

    Think I've got the hang of it now. It's a shame the feature doesn't work for windows xp though as it does look so much better and neater without all the web address. I'm sure there is another way around it but to be honest I'm not particulary good with the technical stuff. Thanks for your help earlier and putting the link on for me.
