adding links

[ex-em]

ive noticed in some peoples threads and posts that when they put a link to say autotrader or ebay etc that the full link is not written out but just a blue word underlined how do you do this? an idiots guide would be nice

In a seperate explorer tab open the web page you require, then left click on the address in the URL bar, to highlight it, then right click for the 'copy' option. Click 'copy' then go back to the post you are making and right click and 'paste'.

voilla..

hi
thanks but what i meant was, if you look at this link http://www.club-xm.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=927 and look at post four the word "this" is blue and is a link.

how do you do that!!!

[Ciaran]

You use the '[ URL ]' function, like this:

Code: Select all

[URL=http://www.club-xm.co.uk]Click to visit Club-XM[/URL]

Obviously the URL at the start is the web address, and whatever text you put in the middle becomes your blue linked word(s).

The above would produce this: Click to visit Club-XM

You can use the URL button on your toolbar to put the tags in for you if you don't want to type them manually.
