And why is there no way to preview my post before posting?

There is a way for you to preview your post. Click on the first button on the button bar when you are writing your message (the one with the magnifying glass.) :)

Now can someone also explain to me how to properly insert links (i.e. with a useful display name, rather than just displaying the link address itself)?

It seems all I can do is this: www.google.com (even though there's two additional tabs with strange options I find difficult to understand...)

Then I'd at least have the most basic functionality back.

Alright, I'll help you with that too :D

It's easy. First you write the name normally : Google

Then, you select that name and you click on the little planet button in the button bar (the seventh-to-last one).

Then you enter the link in the "URL" field. Do not type " http://", it'll be added automatically.

There you go! Google

don't google - give money to charity with your internet searches - use www.everyclick.com instead!

(i wouldn't normally post that sort of thing, but its for a good cause.)

Works - thank you! happy.gif

Does anyone else get a "page can not be found" error as soon as they hit "publish"?

I get that everytime. The post gets published, but I have to go back to the forum page, then back into the topic I was writing to in order to see my own post.

Another quick question. Does anyone know where to go for a counter of how many posts you have made? I can get a list of all my posts through my profile, but haven't been able to find anything that just says (12 posts) or such. What increases your points? I realize I am not even 5% as prolific as ColtsFan (Go Eagles!) but I can't seem to get beyond 25 points.

Semper Fi!

Actually you are at 26 now gui%C3%B1o.gif

And it must be something on your side (browser settings maybe?) but the Publish button works normally for me (and most other people, I assume, since I don't hear them complaining) and brings me back to the thread I post in.

For the post count... not sure it's shown anymore.

And lastly, the formula for points calculation is secret, but you get get some info about it there: new.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_comunidad_ventajas.asp , in the "Points = Prizes" section.
