Lesson WHATEVER THE HELL WE'RE UP TO :biggrin::
The EDIT


Double posting is bad, unless you HAVE to--ie, the bump. But thats an advanced technique :biggrin:

Here are reasons to double post. Do not double post unless it falls under one of these reasons

A)Your post is so long that it has to be split into 2. (this REALLY shouldnt apply to anyone new. Your post has to be a Friggin essay to fall under this category)

B)You need to Bump (2 bumps in a row from one person, max. After that, its obvious that noone is interested in your topic, and it should die)

C)Your two posts talk about different things, and are NOT merely adding to the previous post.


SO, that being said, You will probably need to EDIT your posts VERY often. Instead of making a new post that says "oops, forgot to mention", you should hit that cool looking button that says "edit". That way, the topic doesnt get cluttered with half posts, and 1 liners.
the edit button is located at the top of your post, to the right of where the time and date of your post is located:

DO NOT TRY TO BUMP WITH THE EDIT BUTTON; IT DONT WORK!!

Also, note how I double and triple posted with my lessons. This is basically the same as Adding a space between paragraphs, BUT SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN THE TWO CONSECUTIVE POSTS ARE VERY DIFFERENT.
Here is how an edit looks:

Notice how you cannot even tell that I have edited my post. Out of courtesty to others, try putting [EDIT] at the top of your edit.

[EDIT]
Like that.

Oh, and become accustomed with the "edit button. I had to edit this post MANY times so i could get that table above correct. Tables are EXTREMEMLY frustrating on this forum (though i suppose i could have used the preview button, its really cool too)

DONT ASSUME THAT, BECAUSE THE POST LOOKS FINE BEFORE YOU POST IT IT WILL LOOK FINE AFTER YOU POST IT. MY TABLE WAS EXTREMELY UGLY LOOKING UNTIL I ACTUALLY POSTED IT.

...or how bout ur quoting two different things/member?

u need to separate them on two different replies ;)

viper2040 12-10-2002 11:00 PM

thanx for the input, Kayura and bloodpack, but please read the first post:
Please do not post here unless you're adding a lesson or link. I appreciate the support, but cannot afford to have my topic flooded with people thanking me or debating with me. Im not being mean, but I know that if this continues, my topic will be completely ruined as many others have been in the past.

Thank you, though. You can always message me if you need to...

NOTE: BLOODPACK: your last post in here was fine. Im talking about the other one.
