Simple question

Gromitspapa · 01-18-2005, 11:38 PM

How do you change a weblink to read what you want it to say, like click here ?

Carbonated_Brains · 01-19-2005, 12:09 AM

Quote:

&LT;a href="http://www.address.com/"&GT;Click here!&LT;/a&GT;

Or if you were talking about Cellar links, in your posts....

Quote:

{URL=http://www.address.com/}Click here{/URL}

Except replace the curly brackets { } with SQUARE brackets [ ]

easier way: when replying, click go advanced, then type the text, highlight it, and click the little button that has a globe .....copy/paste your url, ...voila~!

Like this?

I just wanted to test this.

cjjulie · 01-19-2005, 03:56 PM

another simple question. How do you take a picture over to a forum such as the cellar from a web page (not just the link)

Right click on the picture and save it to your hard drive then you can post it using the 'manage attachments' function under Attach Files in Reply to Thread.

Bah, needlessly complicated.

Just link to it.

type &LT;img src="http://www.imagelocation.com/yourpicture.jpg"&GT;

Thanks! I would be proud of it if it didn't give me so much trouble.

staceyv · 01-20-2005, 09:54 AM

I want to try! my attempt

it worked

BrianR · 01-20-2005, 01:46 PM

Y'all are in trouble if I ever get a domain name and start linking to MY picture collection...

Gromitspapa · 01-20-2005, 10:44 PM

Thanks, guys!

Carbonated_Brains- I'm not clear on why there's two formats: (space inserted)

< a href=

and

[ URL=

Carbonated_Brains · 01-20-2005, 11:14 PM

<b>Gromitspapa</b>

One of those formats applies specifically to this message board, the Cellar. Only use [ URL= when you're posting a message onto the cellar, and perhaps other message boards. It's special code just for this software.

If you're trying to make a webpage in GENERAL, use the < a href= type. This is a "tag", or segment of code, in a scripting language called HTML.

So, square brackets for the Cellar, angle brackets for making web pages.

To FURTHER confuse you....the square brackets AND the angle bracket type both work in the cellar. They do the same thing. But you can't use square brackets to make webpages!

staceyv · 01-21-2005, 06:11 PM

YAY! I finally figured out how to do a quote
