Linking threads is difficult until you get the hang of it, and it's worth getting the hang of..<br/><br/><br/>Practice it here.....<br/><br/>Find a post, any post, in any RP....<br/><br/>Click on the blue<strong>post</strong>heading, where it says "Re: Whatever this thread is called" and above where it says "«<strong>Reply #x on:</strong>dd-mm-ccyy, hh:mm:ss »"<br/><br/>That puts the url of the<em>post</em>into your browser's navigation bar. It should look something like this:<br/>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=154219.msg7071403#msg7071403 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=154219.msg7071403#msg7071403)<br/><br/>The important bit is the .msg<em>nnnnnnn</em>#msg<em>nnnnnnn</em>at the end. If you don't see that, then it won't work!<br/><br/>Select the ENTIRE url and press <CTRL> + c to copy it, then open a new reply here and press <CTRL> + v to paste it.<br/><br/>NOW: important... use the <Preview> button to see what you have. If you don't see a hyperlink in the preview, then you've done it wrong. If you do, click it to make sure it takes you where you expect!<br/><br/>Incidentally, the hyperlink should look exactly as the link above at this stage.<br/><br/>Next, include the hyperlink in a pair of url tags, so it looks like this:<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[url=http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=154219.msg7071403#msg7071403][/url]</code></pre><br/>(I'm using code tags here so you can see the source).<br/><br/>Finally, put something descriptive between the url tags, so it looks like this:<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[url=http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=154219.msg7071403#msg7071403]Something Descriptive goes here[/url]</code></pre><br/>When you save the post, it should look liker this:<br/><br/>Something Descriptive goes here (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=154219.msg7071403#msg7071403)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>As for how to keep this game going, I'm not sure.<br/><br/>I have some ideas:<br/><br/>1) Time-skip to the end of the sand storm and let people get out on the surface.<br/>2) Re-open recruiting for Shuttle 3 and when we have some more players do a time-skip to the next day<br/>3) Time-skip forward by a week or more, the mother ship is gone, everything is up and running, and we have a scientific expedition out on the surface...<br/><br/>Other suggestions are welcome?
