How do you embed web links?

Hi all,

A quick question: I see a lot of posts and signatures that have embedded web links (e.g. "see image here"), and I haven't been able to work out how it's done. Can anyone tell me?

Thanks,
Stephen

When you go in to edit your signature (under "User CP") Steven, use the icon under the large capital A - the one with the single chain link under a piccy of the world. Let's you choose the text for the link and the actual background web link.....

Hope that's what you're after.

What you do is type a word like.... here..... in your post edit box...then highlight it by pressing your left mouse button and dragging it over the word so that it is highlighted.

No go to the chain link icon, see my picture...then this will pop up a "http" link tab.

Now just enter your hyperlink into this box...cut & paste is the easiest way.

Then click Ok....done!

I always do it the old fashioned manual way:


(remove space at end before the last ] )
