Send me a U2U with what you want to link and the image you desire to use and I will send the code to you.

Peter

Hey Hawker9 here from Zedd's Handbook is a page containing all the BB code you need: BBcode

A combination of url and img tags will enable the use of an image as a link.

Jak

thanks both of you and i'll try to get you the things soon Odium.

Hawker,

[ url=http://www.abovetopsecret.com]abovetopsecret.com[ /url]
*minus the space after the [

...will get you this:
abovetopsecret.com

To do the same, but with an image ...
[ url=http://www.abovetopsecret.com][ img]http://images.abovetopsecret.com/ats5/logo2ats.gif[ /img][ /url]

... will get you this:

Again, *minus the space after the [

Hope this helps!?

As with Jak's recommendation, Zedd has put together a rather comprehensive set of BBcode instructions and examples for ATS members.

yeah thanks again i got it now. but now i have a new question: i saved my avatar on my computer but the site i put for the image i guess got shut down or somthing. so what im askin is if there is any way to get that image from my computer to the ats website so i can use it? im sorry if it's something i should know and i sound dumb askin, but whatever.

Yes, go to your memCenter

, use the "upload" feature

, then copy and paste the provided URL into the avatar URL in your profile. Save ... and you're good to go!

Also, good places to find this info & more is here:

Zedd's Handbook:
www.abovetopsecret.com...

Smokin BQB threads:
www.abovetopsecret.com...

i tried the upload thing but when i clicked on it it just said "access failed" or "access error" or something like that.

Hey Hawker9,

I had that problem too (only recently), it turned out to be my firewall.

Jak

so, is there a way to get around that or turn off the firewall temporarily?

Yes you can turn off firewall protection. What are you using? Norton?

yeah i think it is norton. our dsl provider is alltel, if that matters at all.

i just tried turning off the norton firewall but it didnt make any difference...

kinglizard put together a complete guide to posting an avatar, he even included screen captures to walk you through it.

His thread is here,
www.abovetopsecret.com...

Hope that helps..........

Instead of using the ATS upload feature you could get a free account with an online hosting service like photobucket or something similar. Upload your images there and then C&P the URL they give you for your image into your avatar space (settings---->edit profile.)

Hope that helps....

I just want to add something to this thread:

There is no such thing as a dumb question.
If you don't know how to do something, you need to ask.
The members of ATS are always willing to help others find the information they are looking for.
That's why we're a community.

Google is an amazing tool, but not all answers are there.
The ATS members can give you more insight into their own software programs they recommend from personal experience.
The older members know all the ins and outs of the ATS boards, and this is the best way to get that information.
Even if you feel it's a dumb question, ask anyway...........
Other members will direct you to the answer with a link to previous ATS threads with the information or an outside link for what you need.

Even if a member tells you to do a search, that search will lead you to an answer.......

Here's two places to start....
ATS Tag Search
ATS Boolean Search

EDIT: You can always put a subject tag at the bottom of your new thread, submit the tag, then click your own tag. This will bring you to all the threads with the same tags.
