[quote=""dirtymonkey29""]how do you do them fancy links?[/quote]

So how are these done (you asked but not hard)...


STEP 1:

Take your URL you wish to add, copy it, for example this one:

viewtopic.php?f=28&t=400



STEP 2

Then we want to type it as a link, for example:

This link shows how you attach pictures to the forum.


So you do this by:

Click on the grey URL button, which gives you this:





STEP 3

Insert the link you have copied between the two square brackets to give you this:

http://www.xdrivers.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... 8&t=400[b][/b]



STEP 4

Now, remove the square bracket on the first link and replace it with an equal sign:

[url]http://www.xdrivers.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... f=28&t=400[/url]

becomes

[url=http://www.xdrivers.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... f=28&t=400[/url]



STEP 5

Then add another square bracket at the end of the URL, like this:

.

becomes

[url=http]][/b]



STEP 6

Lastly add the text that represents the link, for example 'link' (remember your spacing):

[urll=http://www.xdrivers.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... f=28&t=400]link[/url]



STEP 7

So...

This link shows how you attach pictures to the forum.

is done by:

This [urll=http://www.xdrivers.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... f=28&t=400]link[/url] shows how you attach pictures to the forum.

(Ignore the double 'l' on url at the beginning).

Yeah I get that bit but how do you make it say "link" or whatever else?

Refresh!

I did edit a few times, sorry.

For some reason it's not displaying in tapatalk. If its a long post it usually says "more" at the bottom. If I quote your post I see it. Will read it from the pc tomorrow.

Yes a bit long.

a ha! so that's how u do it!!!

You star... I've been wondering how that was done.

And the beauty is that there is a button called URL in the "post" section which is all you have to press to get it.
