Title: creating hyperlinks properly
Post by: mmmPeanutButter on May 12, 2004, 10:18:43 am

I know this isn't specifically a BYOAC question, but I've got to ask cause I see it all the time on these boards and I don't know how to do it.

I know how to do huperlinks with the hyperlinks button, but then you see the whole website name in the post.

I heard about Happ Controls (http://www.happcontrols.com) from this post (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=7;action=post;threadid=19191)

and when you click on "Happ Controls", their website comes up

and when you click on "this post", the pst comes up.


I think this would really help me post cleanly.  Thanks for your help.

You have to use the URL tag in a certain way.

Code: [Select]

Can you please tell me where you get the information to put into the URL tag for the 'this post'? I don't see that information displayed anywhere.

Lower left corner of your browser window, where it shows you the link location.  You can right-click a thread title and copy the link location to use it in a post.
