Title: Posting Links
Post by: Splashdown on January 04, 2008, 07:31:31 PM: How can I post a link without showing the entire url?

For example, how do I make a hyperlink out of the word "link"?

How to post a small link (http://usmilnet.com/smf/index.php?topic=4235.0)

BTW, I do hate the way I have to modify and will try to find a modification that makes it easier. That I promise.

Post by: Flame on January 05, 2008, 05:47:38 PM: OK...I just tried this, and it didn't work for me...the code should look something like this, right?

(what you want to show up for the link) (http://http//blahblahblah.com)

Is there supposed to be spaces or no spaces or something??

I admit, I'm not so good at all this stuff!

Code: [Select]
[.code] bbc code here [/.code] and then insert the code in between. It will show up as text and not translated into BBC. (Remove the periods)

Try this:
[.url=address]title[./url]
remove the . in both locations...this worked for me earlier.
