Title: How do I post a link
Post by: cyphyr on October 11, 2007, 06:32:18 AM
How do I post a link so the word (for example "link") is the clickable link rather than a whole string of http://yada.yada. Hope this makes sense, coffee still kicking in lol
Thanks
Richard

In the opening URL tag, say 'URL=' and the url string (enclosed in double quotes), close the opening tag, type the desired phrase, then the close url tag. Don't include the 'http://' portion of the URL - that'll be added automatically.

Good thing g_m kicked in - I gave you a bum steer. No double quotes around the URL.

Exactly how you managed to write over 300 posts without working out how to do links properly is a mystery to me... ???
