How do you convert a link address to words, like, say, 'look here' in blue?
(I know how to do colour, but not how to convert the link address to 'speech').

Ps. I only have an iPad, so if it needs a right-click or some other weird PC thing, I won't be able to do it!

There used to be a good guide sticked at the top, but for some mysterious reason the towers decided to replace it with a pretty useless and boring (IMO) Forum Introduction Guide

This link



Can you open the above link? I don't seem to be able to!

Pyxis

Just practising.

Another link

No, can't open that one either. Wonder what I'm not doing?

This was the link I was practising with.:

http://www.hotwheels.com/en-gb/index.html

The link is broken because whatever method you used to do it has duplicated the http:// part of the url.

A third link






Edit. Brill! That's done it!
Yes, I don't know why the http thing got duplicated. I hadn't noticed! I deleted one and bob's your uncle!

Many thanks!

The link box already has an http:// as a default setting so you need to either delete it or just do as I do and overpaste the link you are copying in.

If you put the tags in yourself, you don't get that problem:

[u r l = https://www.gogle.com ] this [ / u r l ]

Just move all the spaces and it should work.
