    Default How Do You......?

    I frequently see forum members type something like this that is a link (which "this" was not). How do you do that? :confused:

    Find the webpage you want to link to and highlight the address, Ctrl+C to copy it. In your 'Reply to topic', highlight the text you want to attach the link to then pick the icon with the globe and chain link from the toolbar. Hit Ctrl+V to paste the address in there and you're set.




    I just realised I've been in IT support too long...

    I normally highlight the the address then right click & copy.
    Type my text then highlight the word and then click on and right click & paste the address into the popup box that appears.

    Sometimes you need to delete the http:// bit as it will already have it on the address that you are pasting in.
    Cheers

    Or, if you're more of a typist than a pointenclicker, just type [url=http://whatever/the/url/is] your choice of text [/url]

    For some of us this is faster.

    Oh... and following your link... the redgum box with the handle recessed through the front? Have you posted pix of that on here before? :confused: Nice!

    That goes straight to your website. Is that blatant advertising?

    Easy, just hold the mouse pointer over the object you want, then right click / copy and then move mouse to where you want it, then right click again & paste .
