OT: HTML tags for links in this forum

tcbetka wrote on 10/17/2008, 9:00 PM

Sorry to have to ask this, but I cannot find the answer in the forum archives...

What are the HTML tags for posting a hypertext link in this forum? I have used the standard HTML links for bold and italics, but have been unsuccessful at getting a hypertext link to work.

Thanks in advance.

all the specifics are in the 2nd sticky @ the top of the forum. here

Basicly, it's [ link = www.linkhere.com ] text here [ / link ], but w/o the spaces.

EDIT: wish they'd just use the BBCode norm. would make things less confusing. :)

anyone using firefox can install the bbcode addon and using the right click feature brings up a context menu

Wow...neat little Easy Link Creator! Thanks for posting that. Now that I see that the tag is a simple [ link = ][ / link] type of deal (w/o spaces), it's pretty straightforward. But that link creator is a sweet little app. Ane the forum preview tool looks pretty handy as well.

Thanks again guys.

is there a hidden option somewhere to add new menu's for different code types? I can't find one (i normally just type now though, don't even use the plugin for url's & what not).
