Forum Links (URLs)

[Gilk51]

It appears that the "link" button has changed since the last software upgrade.

It used to be in two parts - a "text" part that would be displayed and underlined, indicating a URL link behind it. Then it would ask for the actual link.

Now you just get one box for the link and it puts the link name as the text, which can be very long for map links and stuff.

It can be edited - it looks like this (ignore the "x" - it keeps the software from processing the URL):
http://www.twtex.com
You can edit the second half to this and get the text part:
text

But it is probably easier for most folks the old way...

Hey! I noticed that there is a spelling check button now! :chug:

When I used the URL tag, it puts the actual link between the URL tags as the description text, but it has the description text highlighted so you can just type in what you want and it will replace the highlighted text. A second box does not appear. I guess the programmers were thinking that most people would use the actual link as the description text and doing it this way just saves a step :shrug:
