how to ... EMBED LINKS IN WORDS???
« on: July 06, 2009, 09:19:45 PM »
this may sound stupid to some of you (or it may even BE stupid), but i was wondering how to embed a link in a word so that clicking on that word leads to an assigned webpage?

if you have no freakin' clue what i'm talking about, let me give you an example. e.g. the text in a posting should be something like:

"if you want to know more, click HERE"

by clicking on the word HERE, one should be redirected to the link embedded in the word HERE. clearer now?

here we go, how can this be achieved???
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

There are no stupid questions, just dumb answers ;D ;D ;D

oke , seriously its rather easy , just edit your post , and you will see that the link looks "double" , just edit the last part

example:  


www.dragonslairfans.com  It looks in code like this after you edit; [ url=https://www.dragonslairfans.com]www.dragonslairfans.com[/url ]

(i changed the first and last bracket to show the code) , now simply change this piece of text in the text that you like ;

[ url=https://www.dragonslairfans.com]www.dragonslairfans.com[/url ] for example into "Best arcade forum i know"
  
Best arcade forum i know  in code it looks like this [ url=https://www.dragonslairfans.com]Best arcade forum i know[/url ]

(and again i change the first and last bracket in order to show the code)

Hope it helps
