Tutorial: How to create URL Links


I'll put this in General Info later...but it seems like some folks could use some help with creating links.

I know, back at myway, you just type "http://blahblah.com" and it lights up...unfortunately, it's a bit more complicated, but not that big a deal, once you get used to it.

let's say the URL I want to create a link for is [url]http://xyz.com.[/url]

to create the link in quick reply (or regular reply), type:

[url=http://xyz.com]http://xyz.com[/url]

or:

[url=http://xyz.com]here is a link[/url]

I could always make you an admin, Paul...that way, you have to know advanced HTML and CSS.

Re: Tutorial: How to create URL Links


Or, use the little URL button jobber on the reply page.

That dark blue-lettered button that's first in line...

oh yeah thanks ck emoticon

when you're in regular reply, hit the "URL" button.

in the first pop-up window, type the URL.

in the second pop-up window, type the name of the link. you can use either the URL itself, or whatever you want, like "here" or "this is a link".

and it'll do the work for you.

What, People can't copy the link and paste it into a browser? This is WAY too complicated.

that's cool, but I like it better when I can just click the link, you know?

copying and pasting it into the browser junks up the list of URLs when you're in Internet Explorer and you click the drop-down arrow on the address line?

I like to keep that clean for URLs I use alot.

perhaps I'm a nerd. emoticon
