'Nuther tech question: how to get url = "link"?
Had a url too long to get into a post.
How do you make it read just "Link"?
Thanks, smart people.

1. like this
Edited on Sat Aug-27-05 04:29 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
{link:URL|Text}..only use the brackets that are in LOWER case..not the ones I am using
URL is without the "http://".
Example: {link:www.dcscripts.com|DCScripts}

3. You can always check it yourself by going to the "HTML lookup table."
That's located right above the title box when you're posting a message.

The HTML lookup table tells you how to do all kinds of formatting.

6. Man, I miss ATA.
It seems to intrusive to email an admin and ask for that to be added to the smiley's lineup. I love it!

9. It works good


No limit to the URL that you use either.

And it's free and you don't have to register to use it, that's what I like.
