+1 ... whooo!! (You should feel special!!)

Heck, that's so simple, I might even be able to figure it out.

          Thanks Gap was wondering how you did that .

 

[Mike Baker]

Yeah I knew that a little while ago, because Bobbitt taught me  ^-^

Thanks GAP!

Is there a preferred  format ? "Article Link"

versus http://www.blahblahblah.html?

 

[GAP]

Not quite sure what you are asking....explain

 

[vangemeren]

This is GOLD!

It took me so long to figure how to do it. I think we should make a how to sub-board in the admin section and this thread should be the first one, so that this thread does not get lost.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

I think the "Article Link" looks a bit more polished - especially for long URLs - but it's really personal preference.

Thanks GAP!

 

[Mike Baker]

Article Link looks better to me, then just the URL.


Ahh Mike you beat me to it

GREAT visual aid/handout, GAP - kinda hard to explain on the board or via PM because you can't see the symbols when you're doing it right.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Sure you can:

[url]http://milnet.ca[/url]
[url=http://milnet.ca]Visit Milnet.ca[/url]
[url=http://milnet.ca][color=orange]Visit Milnet.ca[/color][/url]

Displays as:

http://milnet.ca
Visit Milnet.ca
Visit Milnet.ca

DOHHH!  I guess that's why you're the boss, eh? 

Thanks for THAT tip, as well - two in one thread!!!!

Or me, Vern!!
On another forum I am on, when you insert the hyperlink, it does this:  A box opens up for you to paste in the hyperlink, then another box opens for you to insert the description.  I'm sure if I had taken a really close look at the end result, I would've never had to ask Vern how to do it!!  :

Next question:

For the Custom Title on your profile, how do some people have a couple lines of text when it cuts me off at a certain amount?  ???

Mmm... Defeat by Mike's software !

(Well, If I don't even try, I can't be defeat, right ? RIGHT  ??? ?)

Everyone gets 40 characters for your subscriber status, plus one (possibly very long) line for your custom title.

Well,
