Thought I had something figured out. Can anyone 'splain how I can take this: http://66.34.61.147/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID1 and set it up so I can give it a short****le and make it 'clickable'?
Like this? Click here You had it right in the first post, just remove second URL info and change it to /url
So change this: Go Here [url = http://66.34.61.147/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID1] To this?: /url=http://66.34.61.147/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID1]Go Here If this doesn't do it, could you show me what has to be done?
Click on the Instant UBB Code box "URL" in the upper left hand corner of the gray box below the text input area where you respond. paste in the copied url. Hit the OK*****on and then input the words you want to be clickable..."click here", "my web site" or anything else. No typos let the mouse do the spelling. If you preview your post at the bottom,(hit continue with the box still checked) you can test your work before you post it. If it works in the preview it will work when posted. If it doesn't work scroll down and edit it until it does. Click continue again to retest your editing. The same thing for posting pictures located elsewhere. Use the little gray box "image". Copy and paste it's location. It will show up in the preview too. If you edit your reply click preview again to test the changes. I sometimes have to preview my post several times to edit mistakes and get the text in the right spot with pictures. Often the text will wrap around a picture. You can fix it before you post it. The preview option will prevent all the oh*****s. Nobody needs to know how long it took for you to get the hang of it. I took longer than most! The smart guys write their own code. When everything works uncheck the "I want to preview" box and hit continue.

[/ QUOTE ] Take the first one above and change this: [url = ]http://66.34.61.147/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID1] to this: " " (without the quotes) I find the best way to describe HTML (or BB variants) is that if you turn something ON, you have to turn it OFF. You've got the first url code which turns ON the link and then the equals tells it where to go. Once you close that bracket at the end of the address, everything you type will point to that address until you tell it to stop with the " [/url] " comand which turns it OFF.
You make the link that looks like this <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>mysubject</pre><hr /> Like what has already been said about using the Instant UBB links on the post page makes it so easy because all your need are the link and the****le.
