How do ya make a link on this forum but just have a link look like this...
Link here instead of the link looking like this for example...
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=post;board=7.0
Do you have the code for that and could you share it with me? Appreciate any help...Thanks!!
:cheers:
-
It's in the help and there is a button for it right above the smileys.
[url=<url>]link text[/url]
-
Thanks Chad!
With the link above the smileys with the 'Insert Hyperlink' Icon...I get this [url][/url] Not this...[url=<url>]link text[/url]Big difference there...Which tag Icon one has the coding that you posted? Am I missing something?"
Thanks again!
-
None, it expects you to fill in the URL and link text yourself.
Type in the link text, highlight it, and press the button. Then add the URL.
-
Appreciate that!
I would still also have to add = < > Right?
My new link method in action below!! Thanks Chad!
-
You need to add the =.
Do not add the <>. Those are general technical characters meaning "user enters something here".
-
Chad is correct. To see this:
Link to this topic (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=60904.0)
that has this url: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=60904.0
The code is:
[url=http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=60904.0]Link to this topic[/url]
Don't use any quotes around the URL, and be sure to use a full locator string (e.g. http://, ftp://, etc.)

THANKS GUYS!!
New question though now!! :cheers:
Ok you know how all them guys got those fancy banners in there signature...
Well what would the code be to have a link attached to a regular image? I checked the help and i don't think it covers that one!!
I built my wife a new website for her carvings. I want to get this image

You can wrap it with the url bbc code still. Most formatting BBC codes are stackable.
This:
[url=http://www.nicecarvings.com/][img]http://www.nicecarvings.com/assets/images/Nice_Carvings_Ani_1_Animation.GIF[/img][/url]
Gives you this:

Merry Christmas!!

If you center it, it looks even cooler.. :)

I'd recommend not animating it. Animated image sigs are usually the start of the crapping up of a perfectly good forum with too much noise.

Hmmm. That was nicely put. :cheers:

Hey I do like that better centered. Thanks miles!!
PS: Chad I think my animated banner is not that much of a "crap up" as long as I don't get two of them right on top of each other like I managed to do right here :-[
See if I can fix this

There all better!

I worded that very carefully to avoid it being an insult to you or your specific banner. It was a comment on animated gifs in general.
Yes, there are some as a natural part of the forum. That is exactly why adding more of them (and a banner is many many times the size of those icons) is usually a bad idea.
-
Chad-
The way you worded it was insulting to us. (Albeit indirect, you are good at that.) However, you are right as usual and I have removed the ani banner.
You win.
