Title: Question about posting links...
Post by: Mister Skeezler on June 19, 2003, 12:57 PM
How do you post a link as just a word rather than the entire URL?

Use the handy dandy (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/YaBBImages/url.gif) YABBC tag when you reply. When you do, you'll get something like this:

[ url=http://www.yoururl.com]URLText[/url ]

Just replace the default url ("http://www.yoururl.com") with the address you want (I'll use "http://www.cnn.com" for brevity):

[ url=http://www.cnn.com]URLText[/url ]

Then replace the URL Text tag with whatever you like (in this case I'll just use "CNN").

[ url=http://www.cnn.com]CNN[/url ]

Hit "Preview" to see if it works. If so you should see a link like this:

CNN (http://www.cnn.com)

Try it.  :D

C'mon John!  You're making our job too easy here!   :-*

I think now that you've so eloquently answered Ed's question, I'm going to stick this topic over in the Feedback and Suggestions Forum (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=30), for everyone's future reference on the topic!  It will reside right next to it's good buddy, Adding Photos (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?board=30;action=display;threadid=1203).   8)

Thanks again for the assist MPL!  You lookin' for some work?   ;)

Sweet! Thanks PL!

Don't mention it, citizen. Once you've mastered that, you can even add links to PICTURES, like so:

Pretty cool, huh? 8)

You lookin' for some work?   ;)

Just helping a brother out. (Did that come off as humble? I have a tough time with humble.)

Boy, the new avatar, figuring out links, winning the figure contest, posting picture links...  You're really on a roll today Ed!  We'll have to recognize you as JD member of the day, or sumthin'...   8)

Look what you've done John, you've created a monster!  Next thing you know, Ed's going to figure out the rest of those handy little gadgets in the posting box, and start inserting tables, quotes, bullets, or glowing and shadowed text!   ;D

Give a Lando a rope...  ::)

To lasso his dancing chickens with?!   :D  Boy, quick learner this Ed is!   8)  Normally the learning curve is a little more gradual, but Ed looks like he's figured it all out in just a matter of hours!

And with that, this thread finally departs to it's permanent resting place in the Feedback and Suggestions forum, where you can continue on with the experimentation if need be!

Looking forward to seeing some of your newfound posting creativity in full effect in some of your future posts Ed.  Don't let us down now!   ;)
