Google Earth Community: BBS Hints and Tricks

There are lots of ways to link to Pages or Picture outside and within this BBS:

http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/z0302a1700/dawn.jpg
(type or paste the URL) Not recommended with long URL's.
Click Here
(use the url= command or the URL button with text) Recommended.
Add a Thumbnail Image that you click to view the larger image or WEB Page
(use the url= command or the URL button with an image) Not recommended with large thumbnails.
Just to add a picture without linking.
(use the Image command or the Image button with an image) Not recommended with large images.

And of course all these means can be used to link other posts within this BBS. This also works within Private Mail (PM's) on this BBS.

The following is the code used to make the 4 examples above:

Code:


1a. http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/z0302a1700/dawn.jpg
 OR
1b. [url]http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/z0302a1700/dawn.jpg[/url]

2. [url=http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/z0302a1700/dawn.jpg]Click Here[/url]

3. [url=http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/z0302a1700/dawn.jpg][image]http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/z0302a1700/dawntn.jpg[/image][/url]

4. [image]http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/z0302a1700/dawn.jpg[/image]

As an added feature, items #2 and #4 can be done by clicking a shortcut beneath your edit window while creating a post or reply, or while editing the same.
