Web Site Links in Posts

[aussietanker]

Hi All ...

My apologies if i have posted this in the incorrect place ... i wasn't sure if it should go here or under "general" ... mods pls feel free to move the thread if thats the case ....

On another forum that i belong to .. when posting a web site link or url address you are able to shorten the link so that you don't see a long string of letters and numbers ...

ie rather than .....

web pics of car are here ....

cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=290086968577&rd=1&rd=1

you simply type whatever is appropriate and link the url to a word or phrase in your description ... such as ...

web pics of car are here

and by clicking on the word "here" ... (which shows up colored in blue) ... you go straight to the link ... here of course nothing happens cause i don't know how to set it up ...

clear as mud ... or have i just confused everybody?

i have tried to figure out how to do that here but can't seem to get it to work ...

is there a set of "how to " instructions that i have missed ... or does this forum not allow that to be done ...



regards
A|T

G'day A/T,

I have noticed that on other "pro board" forums too.
I have always assumed it was a privilege reserved for "moderators".....maybe not
