Will someone tell me how to post a link with a different word

[cry baby]

Someone asks a question and I want to answer in this way: SEE ANSWER HERE and when they click on it - it will take them where I want them to go.

My most humble thanks,
Computer illiterate cry baby

1. Use this code but with brackets instead of the arrow things...

<link:www.democraticunderground.com|DU>

Be sure Not to include the "http:\\" part of the URL.

It should look like this if you've done it right.

2. thank you so much Mr. Mutley!!

5. This is the bracket...

[]

I could't post that in the example because then you wouldn't be able to see what I typed.

[cry baby]

8. OK - thanks for your patience...

I'm actually trying to post to another message board. How do you get the substitute word in there...do you type it before or after or what?

9. Other message boards will often use different code.

But there should be something on your post screen telling you how to do it.

Most of the other message boards I've been to will use this code:

(Bracket) url=www.democraticunderground.com (bracket)DU(bracket)/url(bracket)

[cry baby]

12. I'll go look, you have given me a great start!!!

You're a sweetie!

13. Not a problem.

Sorry I couldn't make my explanation clearer. :hi:

16. On other boards

that use html I do it like this

<a href=http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/>DU</a href>

If the board you are trying to post to using that code then the link won't show up, just the word DU will.

[cry baby]

11. OH!! I didn't know that you meant that bracket...

[cry baby]

4. trying again...i am so stoopid!!

<www.eyberg.net/rafael/rf-baby.wav>

[cry baby]

6. OK, maybe I see it now...

<http://www.eyberg.net/rafael/rf-baby.wav:www.democraticunderground.com|DU>

7. Let's see if I can post a code snippet

[link:www.warandpiece.com|War And Piece]

10. In a regular post, that will yield this:

War And Piece

[cry baby]

14. I get it...I'm going to keep trying on the other board I'm trying to post

to. Thank you so much for helping me in my constant struggle to master this dang keyboard!

15. Here's the bad news: it may be different on another board.
