Rules for the Forum & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

[jjrpilot-admin]

Hi All,

So glad to have each and every one of you here!  Here are just some rules to keep this forum going and friendly.

1. Be respectful

Please refrain from using profane (this includes substituting characters or abbreviations) or vulgar language.

Everyone's opinion is valued & each one's opinion should be respected, regardless if it differs from one's own -
As many topics are subjective in nature, with no 'right-or-wrong' & widely-varying opinions,
please keep an open mind & respect others as you would like to be respected in return

Accusatory or inflammatory remarks directed towards another member or entity
will edited or deleted as deemed necessary by the adminstrator & the moderators

Unauthorized use of unowned material (including downloading, altering, saving & uploading)
without prior consent of the legal owner (commercial or otherwise) will be deleted -
Any subsequent violation(s) of this nature will result in account suspension

Please feel free to PM the moderators or the administrator to report questionable/objectable posts
or for further clarification regarding edited or deleted posts, if needed ... or, just to say 'hey'
 
2. Guitar Price discussions are NOT allowed. Price discussions on everything on everything else is allowed.
Please feel free to utilize PM's for guitar pricing discussions, including negotiations for items in the marketplace -
Guitar prices (including MSRP, %'s, options, etc.)will be deleted.

Also, please refrain from 'promoting' an item that is for sale or for trade in the forum areas that are outside of the marketplace

3. Please refrain from open discussions regarding religion or politics

All members should and can only have 1 user account.
If multiple accounts are created for 1 user, the admin will ban that user.


Again, thank you all for joining the forum & for making it a friendly, enjoyable & informative place!

Please participate often, enjoy each others company & encourage others to join our community!

Have fun!

Overriding the Hyperlink Feature - Originally posted by Cindy
(this should be functioning normally, but if it is not)

1. Highlight your text and click on the Insert Hyperlink button.

Your text should look like this:

Code: [Select]

[url]Facebook Page for the Unofficial Taylor Guitar Forum[/url]
2. In the first url bracketed section, add an equal sign and the URL address
so it now looks like this:

Code: [Select]

[url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Unofficial-Taylor-Guitar-Forum/172404706190182?sk=wall]Facebook Page for the Unofficial Taylor Guitar Forum[/url]
Then it will look and work like this:
