Instructions to make a hyperlink ?

I would like to link another forum to my forum with a hyperlink.

I have no idea how to do this. I have googled for instructions but nothing seems to work.

Please can anybody tell me where I can find simple step by step instructions ?



THANKS

 

Hi Rebeka

How are you editing your page (as in what editor are you using)?

 

select the word to be made into a hyperlink, then click and paste the hyperlink then obviously press ok

Edit: obviously while posting a new thread or replying to a post

Edit: the complicated way is to enter the bbcode manually, look here

 

This is my website : www.alanpricefansforum.org.uk

and I would like to post a message on my forum saying


see the official website - probably using 'official website' as the link.

and this is the official website to link to:
Alan Price Online | The Official Site


does that make sense?

Can anybody explain as I don't understand any of it -perhaps I should give up trying :crash:

 

i've attached a text document with the example

this is how it works, URL="<destination site>"/, URL=" has an opening square bracket in front of it and close the square bracket after the /" then add your text and finish off with /URL surrounded by square brackets

sorry for the bad explanation, i just do it without thinking about it

it's hard to explain, as those URL tags work in these forums, thats why i attached the text file

BTW: there are a lot of other things you can do the same way

BTW: the text can be upper or lower case, it doesn't matter

 

D42 Your explanation was excellent - must have been as I made a hyperlink at last!!!

Thank you all for your help.
I shall doubtless be here again when there is something else I need to know :doh:

Have a nice day everybody!

 

np

you will be welcome anytime

Edit: BTW: just donkey is fine

 

If your're using plain HTML, you could use this code:

Code:

<a href="[I]URL to the website[/I]">[I]Name of the link[/I]</a>
