Working on personal emoticons but having inconsistent results. Will keep trying and will give everyone directions when I get it figured out. May take awhile.

Just trying this out!!!  And I am LOVIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I see some of you trying! Here is what I did. Open the URL Mary suggested with free emoticons or any free emoticon page on the web - do not download it - just minimize it. Follow The directions from Mary_Beaton. Profile at the top, edit profile to the right, settings at the top, and hit set changes. Five rectangular text boxes will appear. Leave this window open with the 5 lines open with your cursor set on the next available line. Maximize the emoticon page. Right Click on the actual picture of a favorite emoticon. Minimize the emoticon page. With your cursor on the available box, paste it. You will see text appear on the line. You can go back and forth to the emoticon page and fill 1 or all five lines, right clicking on a new favorite emoticon each time. When you have pasted 1 to 5 lines, then Hit "set changes" (x's will appear in front of your entries so that you can delete them at a later time). Hit Save Account Changes. Go to the test thread. I sometimes have trouble with the buttons in quick reply - I hit reply in the reply box. Type a test message then hit the smile face button in the reply box and your new emoticons should be there to choose. Hope this helped - it took me a while to get it understood and flowing easily! These freeforums really do make things easy. Now I just have to spend time choosing emoticons!! WOoHOO  |

Hope I didn't step on anyone's toes You didn't step on anyone's toes.  Fansofscotty is a public forum for the Fans of Scotty website which is run by someone who was also on IDF. They had plans to make it public before IDF went down, but had not announced it. IDF went down suddenly and this forum had already been set up, so most people jumped on here. They went ahead with their plans anyway, so we have two IDF replacement sites with many former IDF members visiting both. For right now, we have about 4x the number of members that FOS has so we'll continue to operate here. There are many forums for Scotty fans, so it's just more chances to support Scotty and share with other fans. I visit other forums and fan sites, but I really do like the way this one is being set up which has been a group effort and I want to encourage everyone to contribute. We love to hear what you think and have you give us your ideas for making the site better. Never can have too much support for Scotty, so it's all good.  |

Thanks so much for your answer I think this site/forum is terrific. It's easy to navigate in and has a great overview with the threads, but most importantly a bunch of very nice people;) Fantastic job you have all done with this. |

Here's how to post Facebook posts: Go to the Facebook page with the post you want to share. Click on the post's timestamp link (Ex. 5 hrs). It brings you to a new page with just the specific post you want. After the new page loads, copy the URL from the browser address at the top of your browser. The URL should look similar to this: https:// www.facebook.com/scottymccreery/posts/842158035833734There's a space in the URL so I can post this example. There should be no spaces in the URL. When posting to MCF, you should see a variety of icons at the top of your post. There is an icon that looks like this </>. It is the next to last icon and inserts embedded videos. Click on this icon. It gives you different options. Click on the Facebook icon. Paste the link of the Facebook post you want. Click on embed. If you preview your post, a box should show up telling you your post will show up after you post. |

Not sure where I went wrong. In your original post on the fan club party thread, it looks like you embedded the video first and used that link. Don't do this because the code will be posted. If you insert the example link (with closed spaces) into the embed video option, the Facebook post should post. I don't know why it's not working for you. |

How to bring over a concert tweet I use google chrome on a macbook pro
step 1: Open the window for MCF to the concert thread you are covering. To prepare for your post go to the reply box and hit the upper right hand "reply" (I have found it best to avoid the quick reply box for reasons I will explain later). A new box will open. Let it stay there. Do not minimize.
step 2: Open a new window. Sign into twitter. In the search box write scotty mccreery and hit return (do not hit @scottymccreery). Be sure to hit "Live" at the top of the tweets that show. Now you will see all of the tweets that mention Scotty.
step 3: For the first example find a tweet that has a picture with it. Below the picture you will see 3 dots. Right click on the dots. A drop down list will show. Right click on "Copy link to Tweet". A new window will appear with a box containing highlighted letters and numbers. Hit Edit then Copy.
step 4: Minimize the window with this box you copied. You are looking at the MCF reply box you set up. Be sure your cursor is blinking in the box. Hit Edit then Paste. Those copied letters and numbers will appear in the reply box. Hit Create Post in the lower right hand of the reply box.
Step 5: The post will appear just like it looked on the twitter page.
***************************************************
Just below the new post is a new quick reply box.
Hit Reply in the upper right hand corner. A new reply box will open.
Maximize the page you minimized earlier.
Click on the "X" to make the box you copied disappear.
Now the twitter page will be showing right where you were before you copied the tweet.
This time try to find a video.
Click on the three dots and and follow steps 3, 4 and 5.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Mary you can use the same 3 dot routine even if the tweet does not show a picture or video. See above. Do you want to try two or three in a row?

is there a way to do them all at once? I went to 3 that sounded promising and did them separately.
