New way to post links???

dandysmom · 12-02-2009, 09:36 PM

I've noticed recently that several people (Az, Mags, DM, maybe others) have a different way of posting a link. Instead of copying and pasting the link they have a click here in their post which takes you to it.

How do you do that?

First highlight and copy the website address you want to copy.

1) In the reply box, type whatever you want, including the text that you want to turn into a link (eg. "click here")

2) Highlight over the text that you want to turn into the link.

3) Click the 'Insert Link' button at the top of the reply box (it's the one that looks like a blue world with a link below it).

4) Enter the URL of the link site (you can paste it in here if you've previously copied it).

5) Click ok, the Preview to see it.

Cannot get it to work Eileen.....

Mags · 12-02-2009, 10:12 PM

Nor me Eileen

Did you just highlight 'here' ?

dandysmom · 12-02-2009, 10:25 PM

Yes, thought that was it. Will try highlighting the whole thing then

Aha! Almost got it, underlined too much but it works! Thanks, Mags,
