*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.
I'm not really computer literate. Under stats on your lenses, it mentions clickouts. What are those exactly? thanks

Errrr... all those links in your post should really be in your signature - see this post: http://www.squidu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=8611
Clickouts = links in your lenses that take you to another site that is not on Squidoo. The more clickouts, the more credits as far as Lensrank is concerned.

ok thanks. and i really don't know what you mean about signature. i don't know the terminology that well. I always see people's links in their messages, so I am confused.

Just to clarify...clickouts aren't the links themselves
each time a person clicks on one of your links and is taken to another page on the web...that is a clickout
Signatures aren't posted by hand each time someone replies...the get put at the end of each post automatically.
Click on the Profile tab up above.
Then Personality
Then fill in the section labeled Compose your signature
Click the Submit button.

You'll want to use BBCode (not HTML) to put links in to your signature: http://squidu.com/forum/help.php

Once in the section Personality, go to the box titled "Compose your signature". Type whatever you want to add to your signature, such as text about yourself. If you want to add links to your Squidoo lenses in the signature:
- use the following code format for each link [ url=http://www.squidoo.com/reflux]GERD[/url]
- do not include the empty space after the first open bracket
- replace the words "http://www.squidoo.com/reflux" with the URL (link) to your own Squidoo lens
- replace the words "GERD" with the title of your Squidoo lens
- do this for as many lenses as you want
- click "Submit" when done
I hope this helps.
