Hyperlinking text and pictures - Handy for ebay links

[bstardchild]

In 3 easy steps

1. Copy the link & Paste into post

Code:

http://totalcarlton.com/forums/index.php?topic=3.0

Equals

http://totalcarlton.com/forums/index.php?topic=3.0

2. Highlight it and click the world symbol

Code:

[url]http://totalcarlton.com/forums/index.php?topic=3.0[/url]

Equals

http://totalcarlton.com/forums/index.php?topic=3.0

Note it doesn't look any different but you need the url tags to be able to manipulate it

3. Edit it to add the word bit

Total Carlton Welcome

Equals

Code:

[http://totalcarlton.com/forums/index.php?topic=3.0]Total Carlton Welcome[/url]

Basically replace the first ] with an = (equals)

Add a ] at the end of the link and type in what you want the clicky to read between that and the closing [/url]

Note you don't have to add text you can add an image if you want

ie (typically ebay threads)
