Links in thread

[SONIC]

I was wondering where the option of entering a link with a description is now? (ie: when people enter a link and it appears as 'clicky')
I can only find the options to enter the link as it appears (ie: cPanel®......) or to enter the actual image/picture into the thread.

Cheers

Tried...but didnt work - is there a button to click to add the codes like in the old forum?

I think the above method works if you use the proper edit and not the quick reply.

You paste in your address and hit ok and then it inserts teh code, some of it highlighted, the highlighted text is what you edit for smart arse comments

Yeah im starting a new thread so not in quick reply.
What button did you hit to get the area to paste in the address?

[taint]

In your user CP > Options. For the editor are you using Standard with Extras or WYSIWYG?

If standard with extras then the edit window should look very close to what it did with the old IP board

Say what now?


EDIT: I've found it - Im on the Enhanced WYSIWYG thing?

[taint]

change it to standard and then when creating a post just hit the link button

The url will come out looking like the above. just change the name of the underlined text
