creating a link

just a quick question since the forums changed

how do you create a link to read like they do at top of page rather than having a huge long url address

thanks in advance for any help given

Did you not get what I said in the pm?

Anyway here is another way:

Replace the brackets with square brackets

(URL="http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?p=1720956#post1720956")Link(/URL)

and it will read as Link

... When you click the "link" button right here above the text field, and insert a link, notice how that formula have the URL typed in two times? Where the second URL is, just write the description instead of the URL.

Like so:

(URL="http://sigames.com")SIgames official website(/URL) (Replace (´s and )´s with ['s and ]'s)

Becomes:

SIgames official website

Pretty much what has been said. You can do: [noparse]Hello[/noparse] which will take you to [noparse]www.example.com[/noparse] through the link Hello as such: Hello

Or, if you don't want to type it out each time, you can follow this link, go to the bottom of that page and enable "Full WYSIWYG Editing". Click save changes. You can then do what NepentheZ shows you in the next four images:

Enter your hyperlink text

Highlight it

Click on the link button (the one with the picture of the globe) and enter your link text.

Voila!

Just a note for those telling people how to link. You can use [noparse][noparse][/noparse] tags to wrap around what you don't want parsed such as [noparse]Text[/noparse], so you don't need to go through the nonsense of saying "replace ()s with []s".

Thanks for NepentheZ for the helpful images.

can i have a quick test at this. www.sortitoutsi.net

Thanks for NepentheZ for the helpful images.

I helped without knowing. \o/

Cheers canvey!! (Where did you get that from, btw. I don't remember which thread, and could possibly put it in the FAQ thread )

dafuge's challenge, page 108. I can't remember which post # though. tbh, if you're going to put it in the FAQ thread, you'd best take a few other screenshots of how to enable Full WYSIWYG Editing.
