Linking

Cless · 07-08-2005, 05:52 PM

Okay, here's the problem. I've noticed on this site that some people can link to sites without having the whole "http://blablabla" actually appearing on the screen, and use things like "here", and basically anything they want as the name of the link.

My question is, how do you do this?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

On the "Reply to Thread" screen, click the Insert Hyperlink button (

). In the first box that pops up, type what you want others to see. In the next box, type the http address.

Or...

Just type [url =Eyes on FF]http://www.eyesonff.com/[/url], but without the space between url and the =. After the =, type what you want people to see.

Hope that helps.

I believe I should amend the FAQ thread.

Also, you got them the wrong way round, Rase

The URL goes inside the first bracket, the text between the two sets of brackets
