Wanting to make a rocket company, but want to know some thingies first

[polan]

mk, let's get right to the questions

First:

How do I get the name of something (say, a ksp forum username) to link to something else? (In this case, to the ksp forum user's profile)

Second:

What is the easiest way to post downloadable craft links, and how do I make that download?

Third:

How do I make it so there's a message under every one of my posts? I couldn't find the button

And that's pretty much it. For now.

I can only help you with the third, as I am trying to do the same thing.

After you log in, on the upper right corner, you will see a button that says <Settings>. Click this button.

Scroll down until on the left side of the screen you see <My Profile> and <Edit Signature>. Click <Edit Signature>.

Put whatever you want in your signature but I have learned the height is about the same as the flag used in the game. You'll have to link to any images (I use photobucket for mine). From that point, any message you type will have your default signature.

Hope that helps.

How do I get the name of something (say, a ksp forum username) to link to something else? (In this case, to the ksp forum user's profile)

I assume you mean that in the post you want to make some text into a hyperlink. You do that by highlighting the text you want to be the link, and then pressing the 'Link' button at the top of the text box. It's the one with the symbol of chain links. You are then asked to put in the address of the link you wish to create. In the case of a username pointing to the user's forum profile, mouse over an already existing link to that user profile elsewhere. Then right click and select 'Copy Link Location' or some similar option (depends on your web browser). When you are asked for the address of the link as you create it, you simply paste the value you just copied from elsewhere.

I just right-clicked on your name in the post I am answering, then copied the address using the method mentioned. I know that this points to your user profile. So, if I type your username - moarpower - then highlight it, click the 'Link' button, and paste in the value I just copied, the result is that your username is turned into a link to your profile, just like in this sentence.

Hope this helps.

Happy landings!

To make craft files downloadable use something like Dropbox. Just upload your craft file there and you can then create a link for others to download from.
