That's very helpful!! Thanks for posting this info.<p>Here's a related question that I'll bet you can answer - how the heck do I get the little instant gremlins to appear where I want them? They often end up in places I didn't put them, like at the very end of my post, and not where I thought they were going in the middle. <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Spacecase:

For some unknown reason, the "gremlins" are always inserted at the end of the text, and not where your cursor is. So when you click on one, go to the end of the post, select the gremlin text, cut it, and paste it where you want it.

Ok Space, <p>I'll see if I can do this now!! Great instructions sheet by the way!!

Well, I've done something here...Bolded and quoted and not quite sure how!! <p>This serves as a nice practice thread to perfect skills; so as not to drive other MBers crazy...just us LEARNING.....shall I try a gremlin??? [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]

More practice is needed. Hopefully my embarrassment will be less since my gremlin had on "shades"! I'm hoping you won't recognize me.

S;pacecase,<p>Thanks for the info, I think I am beginning to get this !!! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img] <p>There are runtime errors when I use UUB codes and instant gremlins ???? and debugger doesn't do it so I just hit no, don't debug. Anything else I could do?<p>Yea !!! I put the instant gremlin other than at the end !!!!<p>Small things mean a lot - I feel like I accomplished something today !!

Spacecase,<p>How do you put links in to other posts like you have on your signature ?<p>Thanks, <p>D.

<strong>Spacecase,<p>How do you put links in to other posts like you have on your signature ?<p>Thanks, <p>D.</strong><hr></blockquote><p>Normally, you'd hit the "URL" button in "Instant UBB Code", which opens a small window where you paster the url (http://abc.com), hit OK and then another window pops up for you to write the description (ABC link), then hit OK, and it inserts the code into the editing window.<p>But if you are getting the runtime errors when you use any of the "Instant UBB Code" then the best way is to copy the url from the browser, paste it into the editing window, and write a description above it. Like this:<p>ABC Link:
http://abc.com<p>That will work just the same; the url will automatically become a link.<p>Now I would try to fix the runtime errors you're getting, though, since this probably happens to you at many sites. First stop; Microsoft Update if you use IE.

Windows Update<p>There you'll find all the free updates to your browser (mostly security updates, which are good) and perhaps just upgrade to the latest version (IE 6.x). The runtime errors are typically errors running Java code. You can also get there by clicking on "Tools", then "Windows Update" in IE.<p>Hope this helps.

There's also good info on gremlins and a lot of other "technical stuff" at <p>MB FAQs

Here's a .pdf document with the commands to create MB Gremlins (or smilies)<p>MB Gremlins<p>Same as before: you can right-click on it and hit "save target as" to save it and view/print it later, or you can click on it to open it right away.

You guys do realize that when you post a question on this thread that SC answers, your credit card and personal information are automatically transmitted to his billing network, and you are charged $24.95 per question right?<p>CSue, your posts will only be charged $14.95 per post for SC observing your progress.<p>JUST KIDDING<p>Thanks SC,<p>E

Just........I KNEW Space had to be getting something out of this!!!!!! It can't be that he's just a nice guy! I think his motive is that we drive him crazy by posting the way we have...He said something to 2long about being anal about it...but I'm staying away from any anal conversations!! heheheheh CSue

Ok, Ok, you found me out...guilty as charged...I promise I'll stop, I'll even write a No Charge Letter! Please give me another chance...I don't know what came over me! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Actually...I love teaching, training, and I DO enjoy helping out when I can...and I AM a nice guy. Just ask my wife! [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img] <p>PS; If she only knew I'm using her website to post the documents, she'd probably freak!

On the other hand, I DO keep it running for her...<p>[ June 23, 2002: Message edited by: Spacecase ]</p>
