    Five threads have been started for this years prediction league

    1 Main / link thread
    2 Rules thread
    3 Posting thread
    4 Future posting thread
    5 League positions thread

    Five others I used to set them up with "ignore" in the title are now redundant and either the Mods could delete for me or we can let them wither on their own buy zero posting

    I have entered Yorkie and Ak as they are both away for now and also 10 others who have expressed interest.

    Everybody else who would like to take part please either say so here or on the league positions thread where starters are getting under orders.

    I will update League positions as I did towards the end of last year as soon as I can after the conclusion of each week's matches

    I do not know how to create the links from one thread to another - these do not stop the whole thing running so can be ignored but would be a help if anyone can tell me how to put links in - I suspect Ak and BHD certainky can.

    Other than that I can only say welcome to all who wish to take part and good luck to one and all.

    Cheers Lenny

    To create a link to another page:
    PHP:
    [URL="The web address goes here (inside quote marks)"]The text goes here[/URL]
    Example:

    PHP:
    [URL="www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport"]This is the Watford Observer sport page[/URL]
    This is the Watford Observer sport page

    NNW - :laugh: - you won't believe how far behind you have just left me

    Any chance you can give me a step by step - e.g do I just type in PHP code: and then how do I get the little box with the red and blue writing in and how do I define the text needed to locate the correct link thread.

    Sorry to be quite so thick !!!!

    That's okay.

    Give me a little while, I think images are the easiest way to explain.

    Step one: Copy the web address of the page you want to link to.

    Step two.jpg

    Step two: Click the icon highlighted below.

    Step one.jpg

    Step three: Paste the web address you just copied, and then click "OK".

    Step three.jpg

    The first three steps will have created code that looks like this:

    After step three.jpg

    Step four: Highlight the bit in the middle, and delete.

    I've got that far so now I have the link and text in a box - how do I then get it from there to the thread - if you see what I mean - it is sitting in an open box - don't worry - I think I have got it - just it ended in the wrong place but I se the principle - let me play with it for a bit - you are a great teacher

    NNW - the above all worked fine except that I can't seem to get the link in the correct place - as I am using "reply" to post it so it goes in as a separate message rather than in a list as SLB had them - how do I get to post the link in the correct place?

    I've just realised that there's an easier way to add links. Unfortunately I don't have access to paint, but hopefully this will make sense.

    Firstly, type out your post without adding any links. For example, your original post seems to be laid out well, and I presume that you want the following to be links:

    To link to the rules thread, all you would need to do is highlight "2 Rules thread", and then follow steps 1, 2 and 3 above.

    When you click on "Edit Post", the button from step two should still be there.

    No probs. and thanks to NNW for showing me how to add links.

    Hornette - can I suggest that you make the Posting Thread sticky for a month or so to encourage people to see it and sign up - ta L

    We have 26 entrants in the league so far - hoping that regulars from last year - SalisburyKev, KcHorn, Zen and 2 RossJenkins will take part again too - as well as any others who fancy dipping a toe in the water

    Hope you've put us all in the Championship - and Yorkie in the Premiership by himself. <whistle>

    No - don't tell Yorkie but there is a hidden rule that says anyone with York in the name is deducted 25 points per game
