Don't worry! You can just put the link as text into the post and it will automatically create a clickable link out of it: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=174748

If you want to know how to create links with a text that is clickable, PM me, I can explain it to you!

I have a Noblet and an Ancient Italian that I love to read with, but, for next time, I thought I'd ask in advance: Could I possibly use either the Corto Maltese, or the III Millennium tarots? They're weird and fun, and both contain inlaid TdM reference images, right on the card. Anyone care to share thoughts?

Cheers,

Corey

I would also like to know how to create a clickable link. I can't find instructions anywhere.
Thanks

Hello mrpants (love the nickname, btw!),

interesting question. after looking at both decks I, personally, would tend to say no. Both decks have inlays of TdM cards, that's true (even if the III Millenium only has then on the minors - from the Tarot de Bologna actually), but I guess when you read them, you do read the whole cards, not only the inlets (that wouldn't make sense ). And since the design of the Major and Minor Arcana is not at all inspired by or close to the tradition of any historic/TdM deck, I would say they do not qualify.

For me, a deck can be very modern, but it needs to reference the Marseille tradition more clearly than just having an inlay. Non scenic pips are a must, I think. A clear reference to the traditional Trumps is necessary too. (Even if that can be in a modern, humorous way, think Tarot de Marcelino, for exemple.

So, my 2 cents: I'd rather have you join the circle with the Noblet or the Ancient Italian, I think this would make more sense. But only because I am hosting it does in no way mean that I have any more to say about this than everybody else who joins the circle, so if other people disagree, I am happy to talk about it!

Hello Sherryl and jhernandez,

clickable links!

- Copy any link into your post
- Click on "Preview Post"
- The link turns into this:
[*url*]http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=174817[*/url*]
(I added a * between the [ ] and the url so you can see it here.)
- copy the address into the first opening brackets, with an = after "url" and before the address, and put the text between the two pairs of brackets. so it looks like this:
[*url=http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=174817*]text of your link[*/url*]
(without the * of course!)
- that's it!

ETA (Edited to add) two things:
- when you hit the "Quote" button of a post with a clickable link, you can see the code used in that post.
- here is a short and maybe clearer explanation: http://www.tarotforum.net/misc.php?do=bbcode (scroll down to "URL Hyperlinking")

Thanks LC, I pretty much expected your sentiment. And really, it makes the most sense. Please notify me next time you offer an exchange; I'd love to join!

mrpants, I added you to the PM notification list! It can be found here, if anybody else wants to get on it!

(I really like the III Millenium, btw, it is so wonderfully weird! I just never read with it... But that is maybe for a different thread, or a PM conversation...)
