In a previous posting as above you showed me how to make a link to a particular posting in a thread.

Now, how would I go about 'condensing' this down to a one word link which, when clicked, would do the same as clicking on the original longer link.

I think this is called a hyperlink but I could be wrong!

Victor.

1) write the word in the post IE: Click Here, then highlite it

2) add the hyperlink as you normaly would

3) Hey Presto

Victor Meldrew · 05-04-09, 07:01 PM

Got it.

The bit I was missing was the 'as you normally would'

I have previously right clicked, but here its that little earth globe link ikon at the top.

Thanks,

Victor.

Hi, how do I start a new subject or thread or whatever these things are called? Thanks for any help that may be afforded.

The Gaffer · 05-04-09, 07:38 PM

Click on the forum you want the thread in then you will notice in the top left hand corner above the threads a button that says ' new thread '

Away you go

Something's not quite right.

I tried this hyperlink thingy again today as above and it would not work to my satisfaction.

See here

**Internal Linking (Single Posts)

I wanted to make the words 'Unity Fatigue' a hyperlink but all it would give me was the Compassion fatigue arrangement and I hadn't even entered the words compassion fatigue!

I'll bet it's my old finger trouble again.

Have you copied & pasted the words as it looks like you have a image in there.

Type the word you want, Highlite it, then cut the link from the page you want to link to, add the link with the

above the reply box

Victor Meldrew · 27-04-09, 02:10 PM

That's what I did. No messing with images or anything complicated.

Just copied from the address bar up at the top of my screen on the target site, then pasted it into the lower hyperlink box that says URL and left the top box at http. I have tried it again here. Lets see what happens.

Bikers Site

Well it's working now. Clearly trouble with my fingers.

Must pay more attention in class!

Thanks,

Victor.

PS. How did you manage to put the hyperlink ikon into the text. Good trick that. V M

The Gaffer · 27-04-09, 02:38 PM

lol good to see you got there as for the image i saved the picture to my computer bit drawn out but it saves confusion on which icon to use.

how do you put a post on and see reply

ROG · 25-06-10, 05:58 PM

How do you wrap url tags around a link without writing them in manually ?

example - www.coachdriverforum.co.uk to CDF

Matt · 25-06-10, 06:08 PM

Here you go.... Copy the link you want to insert....

Highlight the text you want to insert it in, press the little world button with the little sideways 8, this opens a little box. Delete the http// and paste youe link....

If you like a post press "thanks" or if you ask a question and someone replys with a good answer again just press "thanks" Thats it really.
