Help with setting links

[terrysfamily]

Could someone kindly find me the thread from a while back that explained how you replace a link with a Click Here. I can’t find it.

I used to be able to do it but searching my memory is like going on a mystery tour these days!

I can't find the thread either Terry.

What you need to do is to highlight the text in your post (Click Here or whatever) with your mouse.
Click on the small icon above the post, (a world with a bar at the bottom)
A pop up box appears and ask you to insert a URL. Here you copy and paste the URL of the site or the BG thread that you wish your click here to refer to. Click OK. That's it.

Terry, perchance do you mean this thread? - click here

The one where you apparently took your hands away from your eyes and your brain crashed!

[terrysfamily]

eee by heck Mutley but you're clever. It works. Thank you very much.

Olliecat, Yep that's the one. Forgot about the old brain crash, That made me laugh, well at least I can laugh at myself even if it does make me look a bit at times.

Just a word of warning for those trying this for the first time

If I copy and paste the URL of this thread it will start with http://

When you click on it will offer you http:// and invite you to fill in the URL, so you have to delete this first before clicking Paste, otherwise you get http:// twice and the link doesn't work.

[Mutley]

You can also try and be clever, like Mutley is supposed to be!

When Click Here is higlighted by the mouse, click B for Bold, Click the U for underlined, click the text button and choose blue.

Click Here

Av a practice Terry.

We want a flourescent green link to the Man Flu thread (bold and underlined.) By the time I've made my cuppa.

Edit: I see that Terry is now offline, so I'd better use my ultra slow kettle. I shall be parched - come back!

[terrysfamily]

Will Lime green do, couldn't find flourescent green Man Flu

Added italics too. Show off eh

Hmmm Lime comes out as Blue for some reason!

Man Flu

Mmm. That works. perhaps you have to do the colour before you add the URL. I'll never understand computers!

[Mutley]

Mine works after I have added the URL.

But then Terry is a bloke, they only see stuff in black and white or maybe blue occasionally!
