2013 Pulsed Motor Build Off Competition Announced

Ahoy Mate,

A hyperlink would have been very useful
in the above case as some browsers are
unable to process long urls and stretch
the page to very, very wide.

Otherwise, thanks for the input.

It was a hyperlink.  I clicked on TK's link and it worked for me.  Not a bad price for such an item. What browser are you using?  I suggest Firefox.

Does anyone think that my pulse motor powered by my earth battery would be interesting enough to enter with?  I really like the idea of this competition.  I am just not sure that any of my pulse motors would be different enough to be competitive.  The earth battery angle is about the only angle that I might have.

Hi Bill
Enter with what ever you have,as everyone's build has the same chance,and is of equal importance.
The only catch is that you have to build the machine within the time frame. One that you have already built cannot be entered-it has to be new.

OK, I see.  Thank you.

In the Post Reply editor there is an icon
which facilitates creation of the Hyperlink.
This permits long urls to be displayed
indirectly as a brief descriptive.

Learning to use the Hyperlink is a
valuable skill and I wish more would take
advantage of it.

Yes, that is what I use to create a hyperlink.  I assumed that is what everyone has to use.  I don't think I see your point here.  Does the forum software automatically create a link when it is typed (or copied and pasted) in the message body?  It didn't used to be that way.  If this is the case then I believe what you are saying is that instead of a long string of a page location, one could simply post a link that says "check this out" or something.  Is this what you are saying?

I did not know this was possible with the SMF software as this is a tool that scammers use in e-mail links.  i.e. the link says Socialsecurity.gov but when you hover over the link it really takes you to "pornworlddotcom.

I will look into this a little more.
