How do I make single words clickable with a very long link embedded?

Any ideas?

You mean you want to know how to use the url tag?

it's in the SMF Bulletin Board Code in the forum Help

Code: [Select]

[url=http://somesite/]descriptive link[/url]

I try using that but all I get is this: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0

That's exactly what it's supposed to do. You put in:

Code: [Select]


[url=http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0]http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0[/url]
[/quote]



which looks like:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0


You could have put in:

Code: [Select]


[url=http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0]Something else for the link text here[/url]
[/quote]



Which looks like this:

Something else for the link text here

Ahhh the sneaky right square bracket.

Well whoever reads this thread will learn something like I did today.

Thanks
