I don't think it happens that often that links need editing.
In any case, I try to fix them whenever they start messing with the layout, or gets otherwise annoying. |

Ok, here's how it's done:
Look up in the tool bar, and you will, in about the middle, see a sort of a globe. It's right between Horizontal Rule and Insert e-mail. Write a word or a phrase, then select it, then click on the funny, little, round thing. You will get this:
[url][/url} with your word in it. I've intentionally boogered it a little to keep it from trying to go somewhere.
In the front [url], right after the 'l', put an equal sign and two sets of quotation marks. Within these qoutation marks, paste the addy of whatever you are calling attention to, and you're all set.
See how easy it is?

[URL=" "]
Just make sure there aren't any extra characters between the quotation marks (I put one in just to make the quotes more visible). Even a carrier return or a space somewhere within the quotation marks will screw up the link.

Next lesson will be how to make type those tags to get them displayed instead of really formatting the text...

| If you happen to post a long link in one of the forums where I'm moderating, don't worry. I'll fix it when I stumble upon it. Or, you can always send me a PM with the permalink to the post where you have it if you like me to edit your post. I'll be happy to do it. You click on the permalink on top of the post, and then copy the address-field. That will be the direct link to the post. |

| I wonder how hard it will to be to create a software intelligent enough to only edit links that aren't already properly formatted. |

if(strlen(URL)>SomeNumberIJustMadeUp)
{
FixThebastard();
}
else
{
LeaveItAlone();
}
Or the asp equivalent ought to go close. Sorry about the formatting, I don't think snitz was designed as a code editor.

How about:if(strlen(URL)>SomeNumberIJustMadeUp)
{
FixThebastard();
}
else
{
LeaveItAlone();
}
Just gotta know the [code] tag.
Actually, I don't think this would be too difficult a change to make... |
