Adding a link

Hi Sozz

Not sure if this is on the site somewhere, but if you want to add a link from a news report - how do you add the link on top of writing?

You would highlight the words, then click the link button and add the url - how do you do it here?

thanks

Thanks, tushy, that's a good question. Just to rephrase my understanding of the question, how do you convert text into a hyperlink using The Quoroom's forum?

Back in the bad ol' days of MSN Groups, there was a link tool which looked like this: . You selected the text you wanted to link, clicked the tool and entered the URL of the webpage. Pretty easy.

The Quoroom's forum has a link tool, too. It works a little differently.

Let's say, for argument's sake, we want to link the word "Microsoft" to Microsoft's website ( www.microsoft.com ). How do we do that? Select the word Microsoft, then click the URL tool, and this is what you'll see on your editing form: Now change the first "url" tag as follows: and you're done! This is how it will appear when your message is posted: Microsoft .

If you type www.microsoft.com it will be automatically converted into a clickable hyperlink. Anything that starts with http:// or www. is automatically turned into a hyperlink

Does that explain what you want to know?

yep thats exactly what I meant thanks Sozz : )

now I will test things on the preview button, then when I need to use it I will know

cool : ) it worked

now thats alot neater
