VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Show your support by donating any amount. (Note: We are still technically a for-profit company, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.) PayPal Acct: Feedback:

Subject: How to use Images and Links

users may place images and links within their messages.

To use images or make links requires a bit of knowledge of HTML (the language webpages are made of). If you are wishing to link to a certain location, you need to know the destination URL (address) - VoyForum's homepage is at:

http://www.voy.com/.

Images are also located at URLs. To place an image somewhere you must have that image available on "the web" and know the URL directly to the image file. For instance, VoyForums has a logo at

http://www.voy.com/images/logocol.little.gif.

Now for the actual HTML...


Images in custom locations: To place images within messages, use an [IMG> tag (image tag) placed right within your text, like this: (replace the [ with < so code works)

[IMG src="http://url_here">


Links in custom locations: To make a clickable link, use an [A> tag (anchor tag) anywhere you wish the link to be placed, like:

[A href="url_here">Click here to visit my URL.

Please note that you must close the [A> with a closing [/A>. (The text "Click here..." can be replaced with any text you wish to be clickable -- you may even place an IMG tag there to have a clickable image.)

E-mail links: An e-mail link is just like a normal link, but the URL is different. A URL to send an e-mail looks like:
mailto:user@address.com.

Thus, a link to send mail looks something like this:


[A href="mailto:user@address.com">E-mail me[/A>.

Now, if you wished to provide a link to the VoyForums homepage, you would type the following HTML where you wished the link to be:

[A href="http://www.voy.com/">VoyForums Homepage[/A>

To put the VoyForums small logo somewhere, you would use:
[IMG border=0 src="http://www.voy.com/images/logocol.little.gif">
(The "border=0" removes the border placed around the image, you can put any number there for the width of the border.)

If you wished, you could have an image be the clickable portion of the link by placing the IMG tag within the Anchor tag like this:


[A href="http://www.voy.com/">[IMG border=0 src="http://www.voy.com/images/logocol.little.gif">[/A>
