This is my 'Starter Pack' for Adding sights
Most of these are inserts work at the Dell Community forum site.
Just copy and paste the code onto your post. Make any changes to the code you want.
With the newest version of Dell Community forum, if you want to use graphic files (-Signatures-), you will need to upload them to 'your' web site and use the URL of the image with the "Insert an Image" button.
Just use the codes shown and 'point' to the files on your site.
There are many free web page servers for you to use for hosting a web page, and using to serve files for use in your Dell Support posts.
If you need help in using a free web site or adding things to your posts .....
Just ask me.
There are many web sites that will allow you to learn more than I can help you with
here. (I am just a point and click kind of guy) Just do a search for; HTML, JAVA,
etc. I have listed some good sites on my "Links" page.
Please,
If you post to the Dell Community site,
Check out your post after you have finished it.
If there is a problem, fix it.
If you can't fix a problem, delete it.
Do not allow your posts to cause problems for other people.
( Try to keep you files small, as large files cause the page to load slowly)
Those of you that are using IE 4.x or higher you can download 'Front Page Express' for free.
With IE4.x open Click on, 'Help', then 'Product Updates'.
FPE is listed on the upgrade page that comes up.
Try it you'll like it.
First and foremost;
Have FUN
All you need to do to use these codes is,
'Copy' the code you want to use.
'Paste' the code into the post as you create it.
It's EASY
Adding a signature
Some posters like to include their system information, at the bottom of each message.It can give your basic system information for use in answering your questions.
Use this code and just adjust it to fit your needs.
Add your signature to all your Dell forum messages by just clicking on the "Preferences" tab at the top of the forum page.
Click on the Forum Profile link.
Copy your edited code into the Signature box, and then Save Changes.
Every question or answer will now contain your new signature at the bottom of each message.
Scrolling Marquee
The Scroll function has been disabled on the latest version of the Dell site.But you can use this code for your own web site or other html based forums.
This Only Works With Internet Explorer.
Change the background color using the Hex numbers.
Change the numbers for different speeds/sizes.
Color Chart Here.
Here's what it will look like.
When you get tired of looking at the side to side marquee,
here's some other things it can do just by changing some of the code.
Using "Slide", will cause the text to Slide from the
right, and stop at the left side of the screen.
Now lets Scroll.
Using this code your text will continuously scroll from right to left.
Add An Image
On the Dell site use the "Graphical Editor" screen to post.Use the "Insert an Image" button on the top Dell taskbar.
You can change .gif to .avi for AVI files.
Ajust the width and hight to match your GIF.
Have FUN.
Most of you posting to Dell Community will want to leave out "width=?? height=??"
Let the Dell forum set the size for you.
Go ahead and use the width and height numbers if you want to change the size of you image from the default.
Bouncing Words
Dell no longer allows JAVA in posts.Button to change the screen color
No longer allowed by Dell.You can change the color to anything including six digit hex numbers.
Hex numbers are listed as '#FFFFFF' Thats the code for white.
Also, you my want to include two buttons. The first with some neat color, and the second for the
page's normal color.
