Ho do you do that thing when putting a link get it to say "here" or "this" rather than the full link code.
Please put me out of my misery
Ficko Dodge! :? :?
It is simple to do but difficult to describe because what you see on a finished post is not what you see when creating a post.
Suppose we want to point at somewhere. Lets choose my website, because I can boast about the box I made. The address is
http://phillvanleersum.users.sourceforge.net/
So you press the button marked URL above your post and it will stick some text in like this:
now you put whatever you want to see in blue text as a link between the 'tags'. We will use 'Phills Box'.
and put the address inside the first tag with an equals sign:
Code:
[url=http://phillvanleersum.users.sourceforge.net/]phills Box[/url]
Then it will come out like this:
phills Box
Does that help?
Edit: I had to put the text into a 'code' block to stop the URL being translated before you saw it. Just concentrate on the text inside the 'code' box.
