Title: How to make the word Link
Post by: ricky023 on March 04, 2011, 08:00:41 PM
Could some of the powers that be, explain to us Lamen how to make the word Link instead of having a very link out there? I know it has to be easy but being a computer dummy I would have to have that knowledge. Thanks for your help. RTR!

yes. Ignore the "

Use the URL function [u"rl][/u"rl]

Then add an '= and paste your link [u"rl=www.whatever.com] Then type what you want to name the link here and close the url [/u"rl]

Yes sir. I have to make sure I can find the URL function and the rest is just like you showed me. I should be able to practice it and get before much work. RTR!

Does that make sense?

It looks like a globe and is the 4th from the left on the youtube row.  It's called "insert hyperlink"

Hopefully I can make this easier pretty soon.  Here is what it looks like when you got it all typed in:

Code:

     [url=http://www.crimsonredsports.com]Crimson Red Sports[/url]


which gives you this:

Crimson Red Sports (http://www.crimsonredsports.com)

And you can use the code button to show a piece of literal bulletin board code without it being converted.  The code button is the # sign next to the quote button.  So the first code block in this post was accomplished like this:



     [code][url=http://www.crimsonredsports.com]Crimson Red Sports[/url][/code]

Thanks for the easy instructions.

But why does it show the code when you preview the post...  I thought I had messed it up somehow

It shouldn't show the code when you preview the post, unless it is inside a code tag.  It should show it exactly like it will be when it is posted.

That's what I thought, but it didn't show it that way.
