Clickable Links

[Carfire]

I was wondering how some of the links in threads say words instead of the URL.

Re: Clickable Links

It's an option to embed text rather than having the link, what you do is type out the WORDS you want to appear in the thread, then HIGHLIGHT it, and click the icon above your text box with the Earth and a paperclip or whatever that is...then put the LINK in there. And voila!

I have removed the brackets this [ and this ] to allow the link to be displayed - look at the difference between the two in the code below... I have highlighted the portion of the 'code' in RED that changes. Does that help?

URL="http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/"]http://www.meguiarsdirect.com[/URL

The above URL will display like this: http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/

--------

URL="http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/"]Meguiars Direct[/COLOR][/URL

The above URL will display like this: Meguiars Direct


You can also add additional formatting like color, bold and so on.

That works too!

All you have to do is this:

Highlight the word or anything you want to that will have a link attached.
On the toolbar, look for this icon



When you click on it, it will display a window, paste the link you want and then click OK.
