please help with posting on Forum

Hi all, this query should be easy for someone to hopefully help. If I am posting a link to a website address in this text, how can I post, say, "here" and make this "here" open a link, instead of the actual link "www......." appearing in the text. Hope this makes sense, I know what I mean, if that's any help!!!! Example www.google.co.uk/ should hopefully open google page, but I'd like to open it with the word "here" instead of the www etc.....I know, I'm waffling, I'll shut up now. Thanks in anticipation, Jonscz

use the [url] tags so:

[u rl]the name you wish to display |the url[/u rl]

You'll need to delete the spaces in the tags & the | is shift and the key next to Z on a Windows keyboard (usually)

That about sums it up

For those with a aversion to noticing what is in front of their eyes (99.9% of computer users in my experience) the link to the left of the box you type your posting into, Formatting Codes, does actually show this, and how to post pictures.

The instructions for small text could use a bit of proof reading though Ted!

Thanks, all. I'm new to this forum, so even the obvious (like the formatting codes) is a bit confusing. By the way, Phil (victormeldrew), we can't all be experts and I wouldn't have asked the question if I knew the answer or where to look for the answer. Blimey, take a pill mate!
