Q) When I clicked the PREVIEW button and tried to go back, my post was gone. What happened?
A) Your Internet Explorer security or privacy settings prevent Preview from enabling. If your Internet Explorer security is set to High you will not be able to use Preview. Also, if your Internet Explorer privacy is set to Block Cookies or High you will not be able to use Preview. BACK TO TOP

Q) I can't get the SMILIES page link to work. What am I doing wrong?
A) You must have popups enabled (and if the page is already open on your desktop, it won't reopen, so be sure to close it or check your desk top for the already opened page).
You CAN open the link directly if you like (bookmark it in your favorites for easy viewing) Here's the link:

Q) Why can't I use HTML anymore?
A) HTML has been disabled because I think AGcode is easier, and there is less chance of the guestbook being compromised by incorrect scripting errors.BACK TO TOP

Q) Why does my smilie go to the end of the post?
A) It depends on where you curser (mouse) is at the time you click or type the smilie code. You can just click  or type the code in as you type your post. BACK TO TOP

 

Q) I don't understand AGCode. What is it?
A) It's simple, but it is different from HTML. Here's the details:

URL Hyperlinking
If AGCode is enabled, you no longer need to use the [URL] code to create a hyperlink. Simply type the complete URL in either of the following manners and the hyperlink will be created automatically:
  • http://www.yourURL.com
  • www.yourURL.com Notice that you can either use the complete http:// address or shorten it to the www domain. If the site does not begin with "www", you must use the complete "http://" address. Also, you may use https and ftp URL prefixes in auto-link mode (when AGCode is ON).

  • You can also have true hyperlinks using the [url] code. Just use the following format, WITH NO SPACES at all!

    [url=http://www.proxy2.de]hyperlink[/url]

  • The old [URL] code will still work, as detailed below. Just encase the link as shown in the following example (AGCode is in red).

    [url]http://www.proxy2.de[/url]

    In the examples above, the AGCode automatically generates a hyperlink to the URL that is encased. It will also ensure that the link is opened in a new window when the user clicks on it. Note that the "http://" part of the URL is completely optional. In the second example above, the URL will hypelink the text to whatever URL you provide after the equal sign. Also note that you should NOT use quotation marks inside the URL tag. BACK TO TOP
Email Links
To add a hyperlinked email address within your message, just encase the email address as shown in the following example (AGCode is in red).

[email]webmaster@proxy2.de[/email]

In the example above, the AGCode automatically generates a hyperlink to the email address that is encased. BACK TO TOP
Bold and Italics
You can make italicized text or make text bold by encasing the applicable sections of your text with either the [b] [/b] or [i] [/i] tags.

Hello, [b]John[/b]

Hello, [i]Maria[i]

BACK TO TOP
Adding Images
To add a graphic within your message, just encase the URL of the graphic image as shown in the following example (AGCode is in red).

[img]http://www.yourURL.com/image/logo.gif[/img]

In the example above, the AGCode automatically makes the graphic visible in your message. Note: the "http://" part of the URL is REQUIRED for the [img] code. BACK TO TOP
Of Note
You must not use both HTML and AGCode to do the same function. Also note that the AGCode is not case-sensitive (thus, you could use [URL] or [url]). BACK TO TOP

Incorrect AGCode Usage:
[url] www.proxy2.de [/url] - don't put spaces between the bracketed code and the text you are applying the code to.

[email]webmaster@proxy2.de[email] - the end brackets must include a forward slash ([/email])
