How to do links - click here thing

Cat72

Ok ,a very technical question ! How do you make links by having " click here" where it takes you to the link ? I thought I was clever at just being able to do a normal link but Im feeling hugely inferior now. I would be VERY grateful .

Hi Cat,

EG:

Copy the URL that you want to link to.
Type Citizens Advice Bureau in reply box, highlight the text you want to appear (CAB in this case)by left click and dragging mouse over it, then click the blue thing above the reply box (if you hover over it, it says "insert link"). Right click and click "insert" and paste the URL which you copied into the box.

You should now have Citizens Advice Bureau.

Another way to do it if you know the URL is to type

{url=http://www.adviceguide.org.uk}Citizens Advice Bureau{/url} but using the [] brackets not the {}

I am moving this to the "This site" board as it is a question to do with using the site.

WOW !! I did it - makes you feel soooo good ! Thankyou :beer: .

Just another question then how do you do this in emails, I take it would just be the same way ?

Fran

I use Thunderbird email, and you can insert a link in the same way using that, there is an icon that you click then insert link in a similar way!
