Just wandering??

Im just wandering how some poeple place there link, soo that you cannot see the actual link you see "CLICK HERE" and when you click on that it takes you to wherever they wanted you to go to? I get that in some of my emails too.... How do you you do that? NOt just in these forum but when i send emails too (like in yahoo)??? :confused:

It's the way they write the HTML to point to the link. Try it in this forum by using the "http://" button.

Example:

This is my link

You will see the syntax in your message. Something like:

"[" URL=http://xxx.xxx.xxx"]"This is the text"["/URL"]"

(forget the " marks around the brackets, they are just to prevent the link being displayed again)

Anyway, try the button for yourself and see how it works.

Hello Silkk, this is an html formatting thing. CLICK HERE

Well, I've never done it in AO, but I assume they just use HTML - the language that you use to make websites.

AO Website

Greg

["URL=http://www.yahoo.com"]"Click Here"["/URL"]


Didnt work :mad: Sorry im a little SLOW!!
What am i doing wrong?

Do that, but as BrainStop said, without the quotation marks - "

without quotes, it'll give:
AO Website

Greg

[URL=http://www.yahoo.com]"Click Here"["/URL"]

Hmmm!!

Silkk,

Remove all the " marks, you have 4 more left ....

Good luck,

BrainStop.

PS = As for email, it might depend on the email provider. Haven't played much with it ... I'll take a look at Hotmail when I have a chance.

Click Here
:D

Thanks...... i tryed it in yahoo it doesnt work there!!

For Yahoo email, do the following:

At the bottom of your email message, check the box called "html tags allowed", then use the following structure mentionned by others already:

This site

When you send the message, it will show "This site" as link pointing to www.antionline.com

CAn someone send me an example how to do it, to my YAHOO account... plz
[email protected]

Silkk,

If I send it to you on Yahoo, you won't see what you have to write.

Copy this line exactly in your email message:

This site

It should work. Do NOT remove the " around the URL. It's the exact syntax you have to use.

Almost, i get this now i copied the exact link u gave me to the create hyper link messageand the out came like this...


This site ">

And when i click the link it takes me to this eror message....

Silkk,

Write down the line you put in your email so that we can find the error.

Cheers,

HeySilkk:
I have a Yahoo account. I followed BrainStop's instructions to the letter and they worked fine.
Problems arose until the message was composed & sent in Plain Text w/HTML enabled.
Hope that I have been some help.
