can someone direct me to...

the area on ATS that tells how to do a "news snippet" i dont see it when im posting threads and i feel a little bit like an idiot.... And i am probly going to feel even stupider when i get the answer.... i already tried "snip, snip/" and "snippet. snippet/" with the appropriate symbols of greater than and less than of course.


Close and lock if you need to, i couldnt find by searching... i must be slow

I played around with all the buttons but im at the same point as you are hehe.

I found this video here on ats seems like u can only do the snipped thing while reating a new thread?

Look at the top banner. Right beside the log out button is one titled 'submit'.

I think that's what you're looking for.

That or you are talking about ex tags?


Example

the news today blaa blaa blaa

?

I figured out how to do a snippet for a new thread when posticle an article. It's just that submit button on the right. But I haven't figured out how to do another one in an existing thread.
