Forum codes - Hyperlinking

I have seen marillion live yesterday night. They are a great band, they have potential to be number one (have they already been no. 2 or 3 in 1985? do you remember .... ?) but NOT INTHIS WORLD. They keep on doing great music and Marbles is a demonstration, they are able to change and evolve (unlike IQ and Pallas etc.) but this is not what people supporting No. 1 bands want. I'm sorry, I prefer if marillion is no. 20 but continues to be an excelent band

Sorry to the thread originator for hijacking it, but the subsequent discussion in this thread on Hyperlinks proved more useful than the original point (which was already the subject of a similar thread). See my post below.

How does one rename a link like this?

Hum...try to DISABLE forum codes and then post the link

You can also simply highlight the original link and Rename it using underscores for spaces. Thats what I use.

"Iron_Maiden" is what you would write.

Alternatively you can use the buttons at the top of the Post Reply Box:  This  box is for creating hyperlinks!

Ok so you want to link to Dick Heaths interview with David Cross.

First highlight the page URL from the address box in your browser with the David Cross Interview page open and copy it (right click>select "copy") (there are other ways but this is simplest)

Then in the "Post Reply Box" type Dick Heaths David Cross Interview

Then highlight the text you've just typed (ie Dick Heaths David Cross Interview)

Next click the  box.

Clear the text next to URL  at the bottom of the box and right-click into the empty box. Select "paste" and the address of Dick's interview will appear.Click OK

You should now see something like this:

Dick Heaths David Cross Interview
