I know how to post a link but how do I change the link??


So instead of it being the full link it just says HERE

Which when you click on it takes you to the right place??


Does that make any sense? :?


I've seen links like HERE and CHECK THIS OUT

Just think it looks neater

It's quite simple.
Use the 'insert URL' button in the 'post a reply' editor, it's the one that has a picture of the world with a couple of chain links under it.
This will open pop up box with 'Enter a url'. In this you put the address of the actual page you want to link to,
e.g http://www.MDOCUK.co.uk
when you then click the okay button the pop-up changes and asks for 'page name', this is the actual text that will appear in your reply, if you enter the same http://MDOCUK.co.uk you will get this:
http://www.MDOCUK.co.uk

but if you enter some other text in the second box you'll get this:
Best owners web site on t'internet

Does that make sense ?

[Drooper]

The best site on the net!


Yep certainly did. :D

Thanks very much

Next question,

How would I do that in an Email or on MSN?

Follow the steps in this example mate...

Look [url=http://***.MDOCUK.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23576][*]HERE[/*][/url] for a Video thread with chat

Everything inside the[] has been left the same except WWW in web address has been changed to *** that disabled it from working and also the * either side of the HERE replaced a b also changed to stop it working

so its

Look (in this example) then
open [=

paste in url location after you've copied it from somewhere like the address bar or photobucket or where ever

close ]

then
[*] except use a b not a *

then type the HERE but that can be any text you like i.e. PICS OF MY '94 L400 etc

then
[/b]

then the close it up with the [/url]

Job done...

or

copy and paste this

[url=*****][#]HERE[/#][/url]

then change the ***** for a web addy and the # # with b

for a practice

[MrBin]

The standard 'HTML' code (in blue below) might work in emails if they're sent in HTML format:

<a href="http://www.MDOCUK.co.uk">Best website ever!</a>

No idea about MSN.

[Drooper]

Cheers guys but I must be doing something wrong cause I can't get either of them to work in email or MSN :?

For goodness sake ...

A veritable mountain appears to have been made out of a molehill here!!!

Let me give a simple example that should illustrate it pefectly for inclusion of a 'text link' in your posts on the forums ...

To get THIS LINK in your post, do this (the bit INSIDE the 'code' box!) :

[Drooper]

Cheers Simon

I think I have the hang of it for the posts now but my main thing is doing it in Emails and MSN :?

But I think I'll just leave it as the whole link, I just have this thing (like with my car) the subtle things make a real difference.

I don't like things to appear untidy



I have lots of other questions concerning posts but I didn't want to confuse myself further.

Things like different smileys and how to create a moving signature picture/avatar but I think I'll just leave it as it is

No worries mate at least you made the effort.

I think as I say I'll just carry on putting the whole link in and pretend it doesn't bother me

Most mail programs will have a tool bar that contains a button to add a link in a similar way to the forum, it's usually a chain link or picture of earth (the planet not the natural coating of the Delica)

I use gmail, so mines a little chain link (in between the smiley face and the bullet points):
