How to make links look professional   Not sure how many people here would like to know how to do this but i,ll show you that dont know anyway.......   instead of haveing a really long link why not have a (Click Here)   say you have a long link like this one below..... (yeah i know its not a long link but click on it anyway lol)   http://www.webhamster.com/   what you do it put... [url= in front of the link and then put... ]click here[/url] behind the link you are useing then you will end up with the (Click Here) link like you see below   [url=http://www.webhamster.com/](Click Here)[/url]   hope i got this right cus i cant edit on here lol                                                                                                                                                                              

[url=http://www.webhamster.com/]Click Here[/url]                                                                                                                                                                             

well sorry bout that folks i have just tested this with the same link on a small forum i,am an admin on and (trust me i,am a biker this does work) and i did get it right, only not sure why it dont work on this forum can/does any mod/admin know why this is??? anyway this will work with emails as well                                                                                                                                                                             

No, what you need to, is type for example Click here, then highlight it, then press the hyperlink button, do the necessary and hey presto!                                                                                                                                                                              

I think Matt has turns off HTML code in posts lowrider, which is why your way didn't work although it normally would.                                                                                                                                                                              

that url thing isnt html - its a "code" that some of the forum templates (like phpbb etc) use.  Here u just use the  button i created.  Much easier, especially for bikers!  :-)                                                                                                                                                                                 

plus, if u type a massive link here - ive designed it so that it chops the link down for you.                                                                                                                                                                              

Well I was nearly right 
But it works the way I explained it anyhow.
                                                                                                                                                                             

  Lowrider, ya shoulda entitled it 'How to make a blonde blonder' cos I's more fuggin confused than ever     it's nice to see that you aint changed                                                                                                                                                                                 

pmsl @ Kwak yeah your right there lol  i know how it all works on here now tho i went and looked it all up  as you do when you come across new things, tho my way will work on php forums and emails on here you have to hyperlink to sort it for you, well the thought was there lol                                                                                                                                                                             

  I thought I'd have to start KNITTING myself blonde wigs again, do you remember those?  NIT one purl one   it's always nice when folk who are willing to help and offer advice, that's one of the things I like about bikermatch members.
