Dear T22,

Please HELP!

I've been admiring your "Christmas tree" , wonderful! Is it a great secret or would you kindly tell me - how did you DO that?!?

I've attempted a few type-drawings on TMF boards -
results? - embarrassing! Either they are indecipherable, (body parts jammed against the left hand margin) or filled with extraneous dots and dashes, (to prevent body parts from becoming jammed against the left hand margin).

Thanks in advance for any posting art hints you are willing to impart.

; )
Ann

Hi Ann,

Glad you enjoyed it.

Easiest way to post your art on the MF boards... use the html tags...

< pre >... to start, with no spaces between brackets ... then < /pre > at the end of your art/drawing...
(same way you do italics or bold type)...

Example:

         __--------                         _________
          /  \      \           o  O  O   _(Hmmm...  )_
         /    |  |   \_---_   o._.      _(  Hi Ann,    )_
        |     |            \   | |""""(_     Have A      )
        |     |             |@ | |    (_  Happy New Year_)
         \___/   ___       /   | |      (__          _)
           \____(____\___/     | |         (________)
           |__|                | |          |
           /   \-_             | |         |'
         /      \_ "__ _       !_!--v---v--"
        /         "|  |>)      |""""""""|
       |          _|  | ._--""||        |
       _\_____________|_|_____||________|_
      /                                   \
     /_____________________________________\
     /                                     \
    /_______________________________________\
    /                                       \
   /_________________________________________\
        {                               }
        <_______________________________|
        |                               >
        {_______________________________|               ________
        <                               }              / SNOOPY \
        |_______________________________|             /__________\
\|/       \\/             \||//           |//                       \|/    |/


         

Be sure to preview, to make sure your art will post the way you want it to...
sometimes you will have to off center/out of sync to place certain characters,
in order for your art to post the way you intended...
why this is so... some kind of glitch/bug/gremlin in cyberspace...
I've noticed this glitch happens with e-mail sometimes too, but not to the extreme as the MF boards.

Hope this addresses the problem you were having... if not, and you're still having trouble...
don't hesitate to ask me for additional help... I'm more than glad to be of assistance.



Happy New Year to All.
