here is a question

[welder_one]

i am computer illiterate, can someone tell me how to put a click on it link to a web page in a posting? thanks

[jonnymag]

Finally, a question I can actually answer!

Click on the icon with globe + chain link or type in:
[ URL="link"]caption[/URL ] without the spaces inside the brackets.
link = URL address
caption = whatever you want to label your link

clicking on a link

welder_one
is this what you mean? Try click on the links below...
Example:

Hey guys, bought this new pipe bending machine at pro-tools! Check it out, just click on the link below:
www.pro-tools.com

If you want them to go to that exact page, then once you have that exact page, copy it and do the same thing with the www.whateverpage.com

such as:
http://www.pro-tools.com/302.htm

ok, during preview post, I tried it and it works fine. it comes underlined and attaches the [url] stuff automatically. just put www. and the .com
good luck

[welder_one]

Or you can try something like this: ArcOne

[fun4now]

the simplest way is to just copy and paste the address.
http://www.arc1weldsafe.com/weldingmachines.htm
and let the site do the rest.
if you open the page you want to go to and just copy the address at the top you can then paste it in here
http://www.millerwelds.com/education...isplay.php?f=2
you can use all that code to make it be some thing like a special hidden link if you want
cool site


but its essayer to just copy and past. if you just want to share a link.

thanks guys. i will give it a tryhttp://www.arc1weldsafe.com/weldingmachines.htm

probably didn't work, 'cause you didn't leave a space between "try" and "http"
James, how did you change it to "cool site" and make it work? that's cool

[fun4now]

just like jonnymag said.
then the name you want it to apear as

hard to do it so you can see it but if you had a pic posted on a hosting site you could set a link and call it a car showing only car as the link. i'll do one then take a screen shot because as soon as i hit submit reply the site changes the code into the link


arc one

i forgott the = in my pic,
i think that will do it i just want arc one to show up insted of the hole link i copy and paisted above. just do it like jonnymag said taking out all the spaces and the " " if you look at the screen shot i loaded the url code is over lined in green the copy and paist address is in red and the word i want to show as the link is in blue. keep in mind there are no spaces its all in one long line with no spaces.
hope that helps.

[fun4now]

[Bert]

[fun4now]

no problem its kinda hard to explain when you cant type it to show or it goes away.
