I know this is a noob question, but how do I get a link to show a name for said link. I tried to copy the example, but I could never get it to work. could someone please show me or explain it to me.

It shouldn't matter, the forum should automatically convert link text into a link. Like this:

http://www.wyrdysm.com/

That's just the text, no tags or anything.

Images are the same.

But if you want images to appear in-line with the text then you put it inside img tags like this:

Code: Select all

And it'll look like this:

I think he wanted to know how to do this sort of link. In which case, Chiiro told him the right way to do it.

Edit: i still can't get it to work.

is the 'Disable HTML in this post' tickbox right under the submission post marked?

Blue-Rex · Post by **Blue-Rex** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 2:22 pm

no. the only thing ticked is allow sig.

It would appear that the problem resulted from a space in your code where you wrote "Project Starlight." URLs don't like spaces, so replace it with a %20 and it should work, as in "Project%20Starlight."

Code: Select all

Click me, for I shall work!

Lol.
When I first saw this thread I thought you were asking about shipmaker links. You know you're a BSF nerd when that happens.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so i'll ask it here: how do you link to a specific post?

Post by **Arcalane** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 7:10 pm

You see this?;

"Copy Link Location" to copy it to your clipboard (you can then Ctrl-V it into a [url=] link, or you can click on it to go to the post and then copy it out of your address bar.
