Greetings all,

Cliff aka Mr Roo gave me some info about making links within the posts.

However, idiot that I am I must be deleting or not deleting a symbol.

Here's an example of my basic attempt, can anyone spot what I'm doing worng?

Instructions were to delete 'put url here'. Should I be deleting the extra http//: ?

Thanks in advance

Al

Yes, you must delete the extra http//: to make your link work

If you're wanting to get a link into a post here on the site here are the steps
1. Open a browser and navigate to the site you want to link TO
2. Copy the URL from the Address line at the top
3. Open a second browser and load Armorama.com (it should be your home page wink wink )
4. Open a thread, and start a post
5. Right above the text box and emoticon box are a few little oval/rectangle 'tools' the first is a URL tool, the second is a URL= tool
6. Click the URL tool it will put a string in your post
7. replace the http://put.url.here text with the URL from step 2 above - highlight this text and paste in the URL

This will put in a link like this
http://www.history.rochester.edu/steam/thurston/fulton/chapter7.html
The URL= is basically the same only you put in a 'title' like this
Your Title

Hi Scott,

Skipper put me onto it, I wanted to post it in response to Cheyenne's post about building a Tramp Steamer. Great dio, there's enough there to keep one busy for a long , long time. I was thinking about the 1/35 ECHO MTB at the time!!!

Thanks for clarifying the link thing.

Cheers

Hi,


For links in the KitMaker net, excluding the photos site, the link should start at 'modules.php'; the first part 'http://....kitmaker.net/' it's not necessary.

Thank you for the step-by-step instructions slodder. I was just gettting ready to post a question in regards to needing help on posting a link. I followed your instructions and had no problems at all.

Thanks again, HARV

You didn't ask but just thought I'd throw in there than you post pics the same way except you use [i m g]..[/i m g] instead of [ u r l].... [/u r l ]

José,
This is more for editors and on links withing the same site. For people posting a link to a page on (for example) Armorama, they should put the entire URL if they are using BB code (other wise without the http:// the BB code will not work).

If you are using HTML A tags then you can start with the "modules.php" part if you'd like to make sure they don't move from one domain to another.

Yeah...a bit complicated idn't it. :-)
