| Creating a Hyperlink in your message |
|
You can easily add a hyperlink to your message.
All that you need to do is type the URL (http://www.HappyHardcore.com/forums/), and it will automatically be converted to a URL (http://www.HappyHardcore.com/forums/)!
The trick here is to make sure you prefix your URL with the http://, https:// or file://
You can also add a mailto link to your message by typing in your email address.
This Example:
info@happyhardcore.com
Outputs this:
info@happyhardcore.com.
Another way to add hyperlinks is to use the [url]linkto[/url] tags
This Example:
[url]http://www.HappyHardcore.com/forums/[/url] takes you home!
Outputs This:
http://www.HappyHardcore.com/forums/ takes you home!
If you use this tag: [url="linkto"]description[/url] you can add a description to the link.
This Example:
Take me to [url="http://www.HappyHardcore.com/forums/"]HappyHardcore.com[/url]
Outputs This:
Take me to HappyHardcore.com
This Example:
If you have a question [url="info@happyhardcore.com"]Mail Me[/url]
Outputs This:
If you have a question Mail Me
You can make clickable images by combining the [url="linkto"]desc[/url] and [img]image_url[/img] tags
This Example:
[url="http://www.HappyHardcore.com/forums/"][img]http://www.HappyHardcore.com/forums/logo_snitz_forums_2000.gif[/img][/url]

| Someone edited my post what gives? |
You post may fall into one of these area:
1. Requesting of unlicensed digital downloads (MP3's etc), FTP sites and discussion about file swapping services are NOT allowed on this site. HappyHardcore.com moderator's and admin's will edit, delete or lock your posts to remove your request.
2. DJ mix track lists are not allowed to be posted.
3. Excessively long single words.
4. Posting or linking to large images.
5. Untidy postings.
6. All caps posts.
|
| Why are track lists not allowed? |
Unless you you own 100% of your tunes in your mix then you can not post your tracklist
HappyHardcore.com gets many members posting mixing which is good but HappyHardcore.com can not have a "I know the producers so it's okay" rule that is good for some people are not for others... so unless you own the track don't post the name of the tune.
HappyHardcore.com can't give out personal information about members if the labels or copyright owners ask for data.
