Changing what a links called

[Trippy]

When someone posts a link to another thread say www.ukgser.com and then changes how it appears to say Twatsrus, how do you do that?

 

[POG]

Type the name or phrase that you want and then highlight it (left click and swipe)

Then click the globe above in the toolbar (insert link) then copy the url you want to insert into the box (making sure you don't have double http://)

Then click okay, Bob's yer uncle etc

 

[POG]

Ye have to have already copied the web address that you want of course

EASY

No.

Just highlight and copy the URL needed.

Click on the globe thingy..............

Here

Then delete whatever text is already there and replace with your copied URL

Hit OK

Then your left with a URl, in brackets ([yadda]) and then the same URL already highlighted, simply type over the highlighted text with the text of your choice and Robert is your Mother's brother

to save me the effort of looking it up elsewhere, how do you post a picture that is also a link?

Where the original URL was highlighted, delete it and replace it with the link to your image on Photobucket or Smugmug. That should do it.

When you click reply... and the box to write the reply appears... look at the line above the box.. there's a thing that looks like a globe with a pair of sunglasses below it... run the cursor over it and it says "insert link"

Thats the globe thingy

Edit: Pog's beat me to it .....
