How to invoke this template

In the above example, each parameter for the template is separated by a pipe symbol (|).

  • First, the name of the template
  • Next, the forum name is required. As it is no longer shown on the URL, you must get it from the forums display area. Note that if you are using a thread in a sub-forum, use the highest level (the parent) for that forum. The thread above comes from the Tech Support section of the Uniden Scanners forum.
  • The last token of the URL has the data required for the next portion. Follow these steps to reformat it;
    • Take the number at the very end and place it in front, followed with a dash.
    • Put the identifier '.html' at the very end.
  • The last part of the template is a free forum area for a description. Note that the template will hard code 'Thread' at the very end.
