Quick question - click links

[Grendel]

Sorry if this has been asked before but a search isn't thowing up any answers...

How do I create a "click link" in a thread, rather than posting the full URL for people to click on? You know, like when it says "click here" and clicking there takes you to the web site. :shrug:

When composing a thread click on the blue globe with a chain link at the bottom, paste your URL in there and click OK. It will appear in your message with an area highlighted in blue, change the text in the highlighted area to whatever you want it to say.

Brilliant, thanks Colin. Easy when you know how

Copy the actual URL into memory. When you type your post, put the text for your link 'CLICKY' or whatever. Highlight it with the mouse, then click on the little world symbol with a chain ink in front of it, which opens a little text box. Control and V will post the actual url into that box.... that's it!

If you check the site FAQ it shows you how to do it the long way in code.

A bit different Hackers, but all roads lead to Rome.
