    Jeff, it's done by using HTML Code. The code is just below for you to view. If you would like to turn it into a link just put a space between the a & href and put one of these < before the a and this < /a > after your company here

    ahref="http://www.climatecadvanced.com">The Name of your company here

    Once you put the space it should look like this

    The Name of your company here

    You could do this where you store your personal settings or just type it when you wish to use it.

    Is it spring yet? Man has this been some winter!

    Obviously, change the document reference to your own web page instead of www.heatinghelp.com, and the text which says "Link to Heatinghelp.com" could be any other message.

    The target="_blank" element tells the browser to open the linked page in a new window, rather than leaving the page you're currently viewing.

    Lastly, at any time the folks at invision.net that host this forum could choose to disable this functionality. It can be a bit dangerous since a malicious user could embed other nasty stuff.

    Pictures

    Hi Alan.

    That picture you posted was a bitmap - almost 1.5 MB. I use a great picture viewer available for free at

    http://www.irfanview.com/

    This has been around for years and real easy to use. You can change the format of a picture and resize in seconds. In the above instance you would save as a Jpeg and resize to 800 x 500 and you end up with a 30 KB file.

    Thanks Noel

    Noel, Thank you for the tip on the site I'll check it out I'm sure it will come in handy. I knew the file was large as I mentioned this was my first time posting a picture once I seen how long it took to load I knew I had to do something different.

    Dan also comfirmed for me that jpeg is the best way to go. So I did some messing around on the computer yesterday and learned how easy it was to convert my current pictures from bitmap to jpeg.

    Thanks again for your help my friend

    You're welcome Glenn

    I say we give the bulk of the thanks to Frank though. He did the best job of showing how this works.

    See you in Ohio my friend.
