Hyperlink updates

Due to several requests for updates to the hyperlink procedures the system now supports the ability to add a link directly. The link must start with either www or http:// - You do not need to worry about the < and > symbols unless you want to. The older method will still operate as before.

When you submit a link in this fashion the system will extract the link from the post and go and test if the link is valid - if it is valid it will be made into a hyperlink automatically - if it is not valid the system will not change it.

So if I enter www.exploroz.com it will create a link to exploroz.com. If I enter www.exploroz.com it will also create a link (entered with the http:// in the front). I just typed these links in plain text. If the link is really long the system will subsitute the words Site Link to ensure that we do not cause horizontal scroll bars. So if the link is long like this one Site Link (I copied this link from the address line of my browser - should link to Bell Gorge in Places.

So to finalise I will use the old method which will allow me to change the text that is displayed on the link - ie the Site Link can be as youwant however the older hyperlink method must be used with he < and > symbols such as this Bell Gorge.

I hope all this work this is the first live test. Anyway enjoy.
