HTML links

coldstreamalways

I can't seem to post HTML Links, it may be because I'm stupid but they just end up in the format that I type them in without converting, like <a href="link">word</a> doesn't end up as "word". Is there something on the forum I need to enable?

Many thanks

Just copy and past the link directly that is shown inn the browsers window

Or paste it in the icon that shows Earth

Thanks but not quite what I meant, I can cut and paste a link but I can't put in a word that approximates to a link like I can in other forums. Like when it says click here and the word here is the link IYSWIM?

Type the word you want displayed, highlight it, click the icon and insert the link you want.

The blue globe is pre-populated with http:/ so you need to delete that first before pasting your link then your link will work.

Or the other way:

A quick (url=http//www.moneysavingexpert.com)test(/url)

but use square brackets [] where I have used normal ones ()

You probably realise now, but it may be worth pointing out that the reason the HTML in you first post didn't work is that formatting posts directly with HTML is disabled on these forums.
