qukk question on how to: live links

[coldfront]

okay, say I want to put a 'link' in a post...  I know I can copy past the http address. 

How do I go about  'linking' that to a single word that's 'clickable'?

im not to sure on this because i havent tried it before but i think that when you are making a post you will want to click the "insert hyperlink" button(it looks like a globe with a page next to it) then insert the address inbetween the url symbols. here's a trial: http://www.ultimatebass.com

Coldfront, here's some link examples......

When you click on the url button (the globe picture just above the smilies) you will get this.....

Code Select Expand

[url][/url]

To add the "clickable" word, you need to add a = after the first url and then add the page link. Then write "clickable" between the ][ like the link below....

Code Select Expand

[url=http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?topic=71483.0] "clickable" [/url]

and this is what you get.....

"clickable"


Only thing is, please remember to follow the rules about posting livelinks to other sites    It is prefered that livelinks are used only for redirecting folks around UB and to UB sponsors.
