So what happens now with the Philosophy @Linde, is that it with regards retakes? What type of phone did you go for?

I edited my signature a day or two ago (time is running together on me recently) to put in a link to your “how to do it” thread. My signature shows up with both links when I am looking at the forum on my phone.

I only see the first link (the can buy Joe love one) when I am looking at the forum on my PC.

What are you seeing as my signature, @meanmistermustard?

OH S**T with the Faceo thing I meant the first one ghehe.

@meanmistermustard No, there is a third chance within two weeks. Usually there’s only one retake, but because the first time there was a lot of chaos they announced a third chance. The retake was very chaotic too. I didn’t get it by only 2% or something, very frustrating.

I went with the LG G2. This guy from T-Mobile was talking about an early renewal of my contract. This would mean I had to prolong it with 2 years and pay for a part of the phone. They couldn’t cut me a deal as sharp as the one I have at the moment, so I’m getting one with less call minutes for 5 euros a month more. This was one of the only phones and subscription in the price range I wanted, plus this phone is better than the one I had. It’s slightly bigger (my LG 4xHD was already huge, but I liked that) It gets very good reviews on the internet. I just hate that I have to pay so much for it. It’s 40 euros for the phone (actually 90 with 50 euros cashback) and 71 euros for administration costs I believe. Ah well, I didn’t really have a choice, this would’ve been the cheapest option. Or I could’ve gone with one of those oldfashioned modeld, but that’s such a waste of my internet subscription and money. No, if I was to get a new phone, it should be at least as good, or better, than my old one.

@Ahhh Girl 

I’m seeing this

@Linde, sounds like you got the best phone available, not that that i understand the cash back thing – is that thru giving them your old phone (it being valued at €40)? €71 admin costs seems awful high.

No, I don’t understand it either, but I’ve had it with an old Samsung as well. You pay the amount of money, register your phone at their website and you get €50 back. I have no idea why the price isn’t just €50 cheaper, but surely there’s something for them to gain in that. Yeah it is ridiculously high, and to top it, I also had to pay €55,66 for their investigation on my phone, which they didn’t even repair. Now THAT is ridiculous.

 

Funny thing that happened today: Went to the flower shop and one of the guys made a dirty joke and then another one said ”watch your language, there’s a minor in here” and then looked at me. A minor. A MINOR?! EXCUSE ME?! That was basically my reply to that.

I’m annoyed right now at the Penguins (hockey team) because they traded James Neal (who scored 40 goals last year) for two players that are OK, but not fantastic. Neal was apparently cancer in the locker room, and I don’t mind trading him, but I really think they should’ve gottten a much better return. At least they made a fantastic pick at 22nd overall in the Draft, picking a guy who was supposed to go much earlier, and somehow slipped. (by the way, if you want to hear me talk about hockey, the Beatles, Doctor Who, and many other things, and have Twitter, go follow me here or at the the little twitter box under my avatar)

If you want to hear me talk complete gibberish in Dutch and sometimes English, grumpy remarks about music or my pet peeves, go follow me too! It’s LindeHNL.

I will follow YOU now btw.

Does anyone know how I would hyperlink the words “Here’s the link that explains how” with the link so that I don’t have the link showing? I can’t find the link option in the signature editor. Perhaps someone knows the coding on how to make that work?

I would also like to link “Click here” in the second one with its link so that both statements can reside in my signature.

If you can’t find it there, can’t you try doing it in a regular reply and then just copy the whole thing into your signature?

Can buy Joe love! Here’s the link that explains how.

Check here for “how do I” do this on the forum.

 

Testing Linde’s idea.

Linde, I think your idea might work.

However, hopefully @Joe or someone else who has hyperlinked words in their signature will tell us the secret of how they did it, and mmm can put it in the “how to” thread.

@meanmistermustard, I took a line space out. Does my signature look better now?

I think you’d have to copy it when it’s still in the reply box, with coding and all, not when you’ve already posted it. No idea if it will work

You’re probably right. If both lines are showing now in my signature, I think I will Let It Be for the time being.

@Ahhh Girl. @Starr Shine? has brilliantly solved the mystery and written out the steps on how to add a link to your signature (see here) and are in the guide. Your second link works but is not fully displayed, the top of additional text can still be seen.

I am tired of working on my signature now. Can folks on a PC at least see the second line (is it readable?) or can you just see the tops of the letters? You should see

Check here for “how do I” do this on the forum. http://www.beatlesbible.com/fo…..-functions

I realize that the words -features-and-facets are cut off when viewing the signature on a PC. But, I’m tired of trying to get it right ATM.

It’s certainly readable and the link is easy to find and click on.

I am on my phone so I can’t see how many posts the forum has – it displays at the bottom of the page. I know we are close to 123456. If we haven’t passed it, someone try to get a screencapture when it happens.
