When some people post a web address or link; instead of the long web address showing, they make it say Click here or here. Its a better way of posting because the address can be very long. How is it done?

Greg;
You can make a symbolic link by wrapping the keyword inside URL tags, using the URL button above the Post text area. Once the tags are inserted you add an equals sign to the right side of the opening URL tag, before the ] bracket, then append the fully qualified URL to the web page, without any quotes. Here is an example...

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.example.com/directory/filename/parameters]Click Here[/url]
