Posting hyperlinks might soon be a thing of the past, which will be great.
However the instructions on the code are always at the bottom of each posting/followup. The problem I have, and the reason I've got slack and not created hyperlinks lately, is that it is fiddly.
You create a new posting or followup and look in the box below that says To Post Hyperlinks:
You use your mouse to highlight all the text in between the pointy brackets after For links: and copy it.
Then you paste this into the text of your message.
Replace the words link text with whatever you want viewers to actually read - this will be the bit underlined in blue.
Then you go to the website that you want to link to - and this is where is gets fiddly as you've got to have another browser window open, or if using a Mac, simply open another tabbed window - you need to copy the full address at the top of the page you want to link to.
Then come back to your posting and highlight the text in the hyperlink code between the apostrophe's "
http://domain.com/path" and paste the new web address details. Make sure you don't delete one of the apostrophes in the process.
In theory the link should work.
If you lost track two minutes ago, I told you it was fiddly! and lets look forward to what David can come up with. The http://
forum.ih8mud.com/ renders links automatically so it is possible.
