Hi all. Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere else. I searched the boards for it, but couldn't find it, so here goes.
I wanted to post a couple links to the boards, but all I know how to do right now is type the address in there. That doesn't make them clickable, people would have to copy and paste into their browsers. What do I need to do to make it so that someone can click on the link right from the boards? What characters and spacing do I need to use right before and after the link? Thanks for any help.
Here is what you must do, though it never has worked. Look up the way to write links in HTML. In the boards, you have to use HTML markup to write links to the board.
the html code should work
like
Google
this can be done with <a href="http://www.domain.com">name
You also need a </a> at the end, it cut off for some reason.
so, in the case of google
<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
I don't think the HTML was well implemented, as none of my links have worked. Well, one of every five.
If you are using word to type your post you can hit applications key and arrow to insert hyper link, click that and type it in the box you find. I believe that might work.
I don't post links, because I prefer a person to copy it in to the browser. It is safer that way and so they get to the place they need to go, or if they don't my link hasn't gotten them in a jam.
Thank you, Stephen. Really appreciate the help, and you typing the exact characters.
