mynorgeek Posted November 8, 2008 ID:34056 Share Posted November 8, 2008 How do I insert a link in a post so that chosen text becomes the link? I have tried a few different times with the Insert Special Item feature but can't seem to get it right. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanInMontana Posted November 9, 2008 ID:34120 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hi, and welcome to Malwarebytes. You need to use BB code or the little icon next to the smiley icons just above the post box. BB code for a link would look like what ever you want to say here [ /url] Be sure there is no space between = and the first part of the link, or in the closing tag Test it using the preview feature, if it goes to where you wanted you got it. This was not easy to do and make it show the code, the site wants to automate. If it doesn't make sense to you please ask more questions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ichatfilipina Posted November 28, 2008 ID:36697 Share Posted November 28, 2008 mostly the forum will not accept html code inside the message textarea or WYSIWYG. Instead of using html hyperlink code you can use bb code which instructed above of this reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
