How to....
« on: October 12, 2014, 05:51:05 am »
When someone creates a Link for example www.google.com and when you click on it it goes to CP or whatever rocks your boat.

I have no idea what this is called and how it is done.

So I need assistance

Pretty standard bbs code

Code: [Select]
[url=www.google.com]words go here[/url]
I'll try anything once, and twice to be sure.

Just take the example I gave you, put  your URL between the = and the] then what you want the link to say between the ] and the [

The code used here is similar, but not the same to html. If you want it to show up like that in an email, you have to format it like this:

Code: [Select]
<a href=www.google.com>Look at this shiny link!</a>

If your email client has a WYSIWYG tool, you could just use that, it will format it for you.
