How can I disguise a link as a word?

Dreamnine

I'm dumb - I forgot how to do this.

For example, if I want http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/index.html to appear as 'look here' how would I go about it?

Thanks.

Format is

{url="www.google.co.uk"} word or text string here {/url}

but replace the curley brackets with square ones and other bits appropriately

the quotation marks are needed

JasX

like this

LOOK HERE

:T

The forum has many different bbcode tags that can be used. Normally there is a help page that explains the ones that are active. Can't seem to find that though...:wall:

Each tag has an opening/closing tag and both are required.

Most are easily done with the buttons on the top, but there are others that aren't given a button.

Some examples are:
(Here most have buttons - just highlight is not listed, but is similar to text colour)

The easiest way to show the code, is by using the bbcode [noparse][noparse][/noparse][/noparse] This tells the forum software to ignore any tags contained within it.

I tend to use the Firefox addon BBcodeXtra, but for some reason or another, it doesn't work on this forum...not really sure why. It makes life in forums much easier...

THAT is the reason that I hate links hidden. Any particular reason you did that?

As usual, to everyone else, watch what you are clicking...hover over it and look at the lower left corner of the browser, to see where the link actually goes...funny...I blogged about this very thing a couple of days ago...not everyone simply wants the link to look nice :mad:
