Different wording in links

[The Statman]

This is a link to the TSF homepage:

http://www.thesnookerforum.com/index.html

Is it possible to alter the wording of the link, so I could for example, make it say "TSF Homepage" but it still be a valid link?

Like this?

Type the text that you want to make into a link, select it, then press the 'Insert link' button (globe with a chain link in front of it on the editor tool bar), then put the actual link in there and press ok.

to do it maually....

lets say you want to link to this site...

address is - http://www.thesnookerforum.com/

but you want it to say - "the_best_snooker_site_on_the_net"

post this (press the quote botton to view the whole text):-

"the_best_snooker_site_on_the_net"

you can also code the words you want, so that they are bold etc...

or you can make a smilie a link

best thing to do is press quote and work out from roberts post, or this one, and then experiment here, pressing preview to check until youve got it spot on.

Remove the spaces before and after the < and the > symbols.

That's the HTML way. It works, but html isn't enabled in all sections and might not stay enabled forever in those where it is (html in posts is a rather powerful feature that may be disabled if it's abused).

The [ URL=http://www.worldsnooker.com ]This is a link[ /URL ] method that myself and Semih used is a bit more forum friendly when you're just doing basic text links, because (as far as I can see) there's no reason it'd ever be disabled.
