How do you set up clickable links?

[Mojo]

I know there is a way to do this because I've seen other members do this.

I've tried different combinations of the "a herf" command and it doesn't work for me.

How do you do it?

I assume by clickable links you mean links like this, where it displays some other text instead of the url? Well, with the site upgrade it's become pretty simple. :smile:

All you do is type the text you want the link to display, then just highlight that text. After that find the link button on the post toolbar (two buttons to the left of the image button) and click that. Enter your url in the pop up window that appears and just click okay.

But if you really want to know how to do it in BBCode out of curiosity, it's like this:

Your displayed text[//url] (but with only one slash in the closing tag ).

I just paste the link and it's automatically clickable... Or you can do url= LINK /url

Put url in [ ]

I assume this is how the (spoiler) text-hiding thing is done too?

Spoilers are a little different.

With the upgrade, it seems the easiest thing to do is highlight what you want to be in spoilers and then hit the "Special BBCode" button (right next to the font selection). This will bring up a popup with a menu on it. Select Spoiler from the menu and you should have the spoiler box. :smile:

This is a spoiler.

Hmmm...

hmmm, I dont suppose there's a BB how-to page here? That list that came up was amazingly LONG!

I'm not even sure I know what all of the options on that list do. Some of them look like things that wouldn't be used very often. You could probably find a list of BBCode tags through Google if you're really curious about them though. :smile:

And if you're curious about why the stuff in your spoiler box isn't working, the code you're using there is html rather than BBCode. Images are easy though; hit the image button on the toolbar and just paste your url into the popup that appears and it should do it for you (or just surround the url in tags).

But as a note, there does seem to be some kind of bug messing up the tagging with the special BBCode right now, so if it does something weird while your playing around with it, that might be part of it.

You don't need to know what's in that list..

See image below.

Which is strange since that is exactly what I did. The pic appeared after pasting into the pic pop-up, then I tried to put a spoiler on it and it seems to have unraveled in the process into HTML... Wierd.

Ahhh thank you! Some of those I had no idea were any use to me at all.

Really? That sounds like it might be part of that bug I mentioned then.

Luckily it's pretty easy to just type out

and

after and before what you want in a spoiler box. And most of the other Special BBCode options don't seem to be that important.
