Default Gear Thread

It was suggested by Neilwood to have a thread where everyone could list their photography gear and then link it back to their forum signature. Lakitu came up with a how-to guide:

To link to specific post:

Right-click on the little number near the top right of your post (for this post it says #1).
On the menu that comes up, click on Copy link location.
Now you need to edit your sig and paste the link there.


**A little added information expanding on the above**:

1. Add your gear list to a post in this thread.
2. Right-click on the little number near the top right of your post (for this post it says #1).
3. On the menu that comes up, click on Copy link location.
4. Now you need to edit your signature and paste the link there.
5. Go to your control panel and look for the "edit signature" option (either use the User CP link from the top menu and look for the option, or chose Edit Signature from the Quick Links menu). This is just like posting a message and you have the same range of editing controls. Here is an example of one, however, the curly brackets { } need to be replaced with square brackets [ ] for it to work on the forums. Mine looks like this:


{FONT="Courier New"}{/FONT}{FONT="Impact"}{/FONT}{URL="http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/showpost.php?p=259079&postcount=2"}My Gear{/URL}

That might look a bit scary but, broken down, it is just the text you see below along with a few bits of code giving instructions.


Now let's see how it goes.
