I need help wit posting links in words

[germanwolf]

Sorry I had to start a new topic, but I used the search button and looked through the Rules, and also the Information Booth and any place that has information, but I couldn't find an answer to my question. How do you get link to be in words? Like when you click on the words, the link comes up.... so that you don't have that long URL?

In a post, do you mean?

Well, you first click the little world button that has a link on it, and paste the website you want to link to in it, and click "OK".  You'll then start out with a tag that looks like this:

[ URL=http://www.mywebpage.com]http://www.mywebpage.com[/URL ]


The words that I've highlighted in red are the words that you can change to say whatever you want.  By default this area is selected after you click ok, so normally you can just start typing and it will change the long website to the words you want.

So if you changed it to:
[ URL=http://www.mywebpage.com]Go HERE[/URL ]

the post would just say "Go HERE" but clicking on those words would take you to the website that's listed in the left of the tag.

I hope that helps.  :original:

Cool! Thank you very much, Peacenote. Maybe you can have this as a sticky in the information booth, so that other people who have the same question can see it too. :original:
