I would really like to know how.

JONTHEBOMB:
To shorten a link:


--- Code: ---[url=http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=90009.0] daywane's link [/url]
--- End code ---

Then it will appear like this:
daywane's link

Franco B:
I like to put another bracket at both ends of the tag to make the link stand out more. I find that its easy to miss a link especially if you are skimming over a post or if the link isnt pointed out.


--- Code: ---[[url=http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=90009.0]daywane's link[/url]]
--- End code ---

Then gives:

[daywane's link]

I know alot of forums have a BBC tag button with the rest of the other BBC tags (Bold, IMG, Youtube Vid etc). Maybe, if possible, it would be a good idea to add this to the tags for people who dont know how to shorten links?

DaOld Man:
I also like to underline the link:



--- Code: ---[url=http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=90009.0][u]daywane's link[/u][/url]
--- End code ---


gives:

daywane's link

danny_galaga:

way to complicate it guys! dawayne. i have lots of trouble with this too, but i can do it without looking for an old post now. just use jonthebombs example. thats all you need to know. to get a clearer idea, click the quote button on jonthebombs reply. so right now, before you click you can see where he says:

then it will appear like this:
daywaynes link

when you click quote you will see how the code looks to say 'dawaynes link (it will be the same as his sample code, but not in a grey box)
