Test your posting skills here first and no one will see the mess we all make when we are learning.

Yup, we can't post from Geo's files. I just tried. And the only place to which I can send files is to geo. Terry, we have serious problems!

thank you marcia!!! and julie, that's a great volcano pic!!

~MarciaH Sat, Apr 20, 2002 (23:45) #13

I'm sorry I did not think of this much sooner. We messed up julie's topic trying to correct something that was not broken on our end. *sigh*

~MarciaH Tue, May 7, 2002 (15:51) #14

Rob had trouble posting this. Testing here.

~wolf Tue, May 7, 2002 (18:18) #15

what a neat photo!

~MarciaH Tue, May 7, 2002 (18:54) #16

He had better post the entire set of shots of the eruption of Mt Pel�e on Martinique. It was horrific but if not for it, HVO would not exist.

YAY Julie!!!

~MarciaH Thu, Aug 1, 2002 (21:44) #19

now you are one of the cogniscenti!

~wolf Thu, Aug 1, 2002 (21:59) #20

almost doesn't look real! good job julie!

~cascadeclimber Thu, Aug 1, 2002 (22:34) #21

~cascadeclimber Thu, Aug 1, 2002 (22:35) #22

Ohhhhh, I am getting good at this, lol.

~cascadeclimber Thu, Aug 1, 2002 (22:44) #23

~MarciaH Sat, Aug 3, 2002 (10:52) #24

Now, all you have to do is to put the caption in the same post as the image and you will be as good as the rest of us! You Go, Girl! Yay Julie!

Lassen Volcanic National Monument

~cascadeclimber Mon, Aug 5, 2002 (17:07) #26

Hmmmm, I think I got the picture with the writing now, but is the writing also supposed to be centered?

~cascadeclimber Mon, Aug 5, 2002 (17:12) #27

Black Butte, near Mt. Shasta

~cascadeclimber Mon, Aug 5, 2002 (17:12) #28

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I did it!!!

~MarciaH Mon, Aug 5, 2002 (17:32) #29

Yippee Julie!!! You don't HAVE to center text but captions always look nice if you do!b

~cascadeclimber Mon, Sep 2, 2002 (14:47) #30

Better make sure I remember how to do this. Its been a while, lol.

~MarciaH Mon, Sep 2, 2002 (18:59) #31

See? It's like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it comes back pretty quickly. I have to do some moving of photos, too. We went to Point Reyes and the Earthquake trail yesterday. Happy me - it was cooler out there than the 102 degrees outside today!

~Geocoast Thu, Sep 12, 2002 (20:28) #32

They have murdered thousands. We can save millions! Please help UNICEF help the children of the world! Help to build a better world for our children!

~MarciaH Fri, Sep 27, 2002 (20:35) #33

Lovely thought, George! If we don't save them and teach them when they are young, we will lose an entire generation of peace-keepers on whom the earth depends!

~MarciaH Fri, Sep 27, 2002 (20:35) #34

Well, let's try to close the center command again. It did not take on the last post.

~MarciaH Fri, Sep 27, 2002 (20:36) #35

*sigh* practice practice...

~MarciaH Sat, Oct 22, 2005 (20:30) #36

I need to try something so I will post this and then try to scribble it

~MarciaH Sat, Oct 22, 2005 (20:31) #38

well that didn't work. Sheesh I forget how to do it. Will one of you brilliant programmers please email me or put it on inner. Thanks

~MarciaH Sat, Oct 22, 2005 (20:33) #40

not that either. I need help and reading the WELL programming is not helping.

~terry Sun, Oct 23, 2005 (06:37) #41

What are you trying to do?

~MarciaH Sun, Oct 23, 2005 (13:32) #42

Just in case I need it, how do I erase a post? It uses the scribble command, and I can't seem to recall how to do it other than making it very specific to post and topic.

~weroland Sun, Oct 23, 2005 (14:11) #43

I've got a feeling no one has tried to use it since the server changes (seemingly) so long ago, so my bet is that the subroutine, for lack of a better word, needs some tweaking. I could be wrong, though...

~weroland Sun, Oct 23, 2005 (14:18) #44

Nope, I was wrong, still works, finally found the correct formatting... http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/porch/32.93

~MarciaH Sun, Oct 23, 2005 (20:34) #47

well try try again... thanks for helping.

~MarciaH Sun, Oct 23, 2005 (20:40) #48

test = inderting brackets this time

~terry Sun, Oct 23, 2005 (21:11) #49

The important thing is to get it on the same line. there's the a and then it drops down a line to the href part so get 'em both on the same line.

~WERoland Sun, Oct 23, 2005 (21:22) #50

This is probably the wrong question, but are you using the url instead of only posting it?

~MarciaH Mon, Oct 24, 2005 (23:40) #51

oh... OH !!! Oh heavens!!! I was using it as a command here rather than on the location bar. Is that the problem?

~MarciaH Tue, Oct 25, 2005 (18:39) #52

OK !!! I scribbled response 45. Whew. I wil go make note on this computer about that. I have had need to use it in scary circumstances where amorous men have followed me here and posted very naughty suggestion ... thinking to surprise me. Oh they succeeded and I got rid of them as quickly as they showed up! Whew !! Puzzle solved. Again thanks, Wizards of Geo and Spring.

~WERoland Tue, Oct 25, 2005 (19:28) #53

Not so sure about being a wizard, it's more like being obstinate and/or guessing good, I'm thinking...as for posting naughty suggestions? People do that on the Spring? Hmmm...

~MarciaH Sat, Oct 29, 2005 (20:20) #54

You are able, Mr Wizard, to see what we have deleted thru the magic of Unix so I know you have seen what was not intended for human consumption. Hey, he was weird and he never posted again. He is still of the same frame of mind but reality and fantasy have a large distance between them. Let the little critters play. They are mostly harmelss and g rated.
