There are two main distinct methods for doing this.

1:Using the inbuilt forum coding (Covered below Smile )
2:Using html coding (More difficult, and not covered here.)


As I said above, I will be explaining the forum software's preferred method, and in my opinion the easiest to grasp.

It's easiest if I use an example for this.

Say, for instance, I wanted to set up a link to the Light Conversations homepage which is at www.lightconversations.org

The easy way.
Just typing the web address into the post will let the software know it's a link and automatically format it, so clicking on it will take you straight there.

The not quite so easy way.
Right, so the web address you're linking to is really long, so you want to want to have it appear shorter, maybe as a phrase "Take me to the homepage", as one word "Homepage".

The code needed will look like this;
Code:
[url=http://www.lightconversations.org]Take me to the homepage[/url]

OR
Code:
[url=http://www.lightconversations.org]Homepage[/url]

and in the post, will look like this;
Take me to the homepage OR Homepage

Both the 'Easy' and 'Not So Easy' methods work as well as each other, but in my opinion the second makes the post a little bit easier to read.

If you have any questions, or want some help writing the code, then please "Personal Message" me by clicking the "PM" icon below this post, or email me using the "email" icon.

Failing that, email me on c17kmj@btinternet.com

Enjoying linking Very Happy Very Happy
