URL

I can't work out how to get the link button to make a labelled link that works.

Without quotes:

Cricinfo

With quotes:

[url="http://www.cricinfo.com"]Cricinfo[/url]


I'm from Qld, so it is possible I have just overlooked something obvious, but this seems too simple even for me to mess up.


EDIT: Okay, so it turns out it _does_ work, but not in the Preview. Ho hum.

Easy, peasy.

Do you need the inv commas?

Urls? You haven't got the hang of this quoting malarkey yet OP.

If what you're asking is how to make the link and address appear as one, just typing the address seems to work.

http://www.cricinfo.com

Otherwise I'm not sure what you're trying to do.

Or you use the link button, the one with the little chain in it, put the URL in the top line, and the label in the bottom line, and click OK.

Bah! NSR WUM!

Just cut and paste and let Jay clean up the mess

Sounds like a line from the Godfather.

He's edited it now. Silly Qbilly.

Nah, it's all good. It's just that when you use Preview, it doesn't show up correctly (but does work correctly in the final post.)

Zat: I'm talking about _labelled_ links, like the one that is now in the OP.



Note, though, that if the URL includes the name of a particular Viking king of England, the system will ******** it, even though if it were not starred it would be hidden by the label, as I discovered when I tried to make a labelled link to the numistatics site.

******

Heh

Well, I'll be ******, you can't even use ******, even if you actualy mean to say ****** as in the king, and not ****** to insult someone by transposing the middle two letters.

What kind of ****** comes up with a feature like that, then?

****** United

Ian Botham's old Football team even gets the treatment ...I'm sure it was called Shorpe United until he played for them
