Hello Everyone - History Forum ~ All Empires

sup buddy, welcome to AllEmpires!

Grrr..

Welcome to AE.

I think you have to highlight all the text first. So what I do is

Control A (highlight all)
Control C (copy tex)

welcome! i see why from your medieval post why you like to back up your writing I still have not got use to this style of copy and paste yet but getting there. Atleast here unlike our old site(we just moved here), we dont have time-outs which use to be very frequent there.

do you have a shorter nickname to refer to as?

Yeah, otherwise you can just lose a lot of text sometimes.

If you wish, you can call me 'Knecht, or simply abbreviate my username to L_D.

Or, just call me David!

Peace,

David Black Mastro

Welcome!

BTW, when I post, I notice that I can't right-click copy what I type, which is something I like to do, just in case I get bumped offline when posting. What's up with that?

The reason is that it is a Rich Text Editor not a simple textbox, if you don't like it then you can chagne it easily:

Settings -> Forum Preferences -> Enable the WYSIWYG post editor -> "No"

Welcome.

Thanks, Serge.

Would you like to explain your nickname? Maybe, if you do, I'll be able to remember it (I am afraid my old memory is not what it was one, and I have some problem with long and complex words

)

Landsknecht literally means "servant of the land", and it describes the type of mercenary footsoldier used in the German-speaking territories loyal to the Hapsburg Emperor in the 15th and 16th centuries AD/CE. The landsknechts were established in order to counter the threat from the Swiss Cantons. Landsknechts fought in essentially the same manner as their Swiss opponents--they were predominantly pikemen. Because they fought with the long pike, the term Landsknecht is sometimes seen spelled as Lanzsknecht, which means "lance-servant". From this, we get the Italian Lanzichenecco.

Now, Doppelsoldner means "hireling who draws double-pay", and it was used to describe the elite veterans of Landsknecht units, who fought with arquebuses, halberds, and two-handed swords.

Peace,

David

Welcome to AE LD.

Thanks!

Now, what about being notified of thread responses? Or, is there a way to "subscribe" to threads, so that I can check for responses on my control panel?

I'm not sure if you can do that, maybe you could try using the active threads link.

I'll give it a shot. So, how do folks keep track of all the threads they've posted on here?

Peace,

David

I think many people frequent here enough that they view all the threads that have been updated.

The reason why the mail feature isn't working is probably because we haven't gotten our mail account figured out. Cyrus, should we just use another account for our mail?
