How to link in a "cool" way?

**osarusan** · 08/01/2007, 9:02 AM

Ok, first off let me admit I know very little about computers (this question may make that fact retty obvious anyway).

My question is.........

If I want to link to another site, for example the BBC, I can copy the BBC page adress, which will look something like this......

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/126235asd123

or even another port on foot.ie, which will look something like this..........

www.foot.ie /forums.thread12312341414

(Except all the adress will be in green)

Right, I know how to do that.

But I see that others on here, when they provide a link, do it like so....

From the BBC

or

This post from the Limerick forum

When clicked on, these links still direct you to the source.

How do I do it?

Nah, its grand ... we'll leave it up in case someone else wants to do the same.

Here is a link to support pages, and here is a link to what you asked.

In short, when you are replying/posting in a thread, and you want to create a link to some where else ...

- Just type the text you want to create the link with
- Highlight it and then click on this icon
- Another little window will pop up.
- Paste the link you want to people to go to and then click OK and that should do it for you.
