OK Exile, so now we can post pictures (well, some of us can - sometimes)
There must be a quick code to add to a web page address to make it "clickable" to open in a new tab.
Any ideas?

[Michael]

Easy-ish html tag for clickable links: all html tags go in between triangular brackets:

Code: Select all

<code>
<a href="............">WORDS THAT YOU WANT TO BE CLICKABLE</a>

where I have written ............ you would put the full URL/web address for the website you want to link to and you would include the quotation marks.

Nope.... hasn't worked!!! It is really difficult to show html because the browser changes the code to what it means... let's try again




As I said, all html goes inbetween triangular brackets: on my keyboard that is shift+comma and shift+fullstop




For a link you would have to type: SHIFT+,a href="........" shift+. WORDS THAT YOU WANT TO CLICK ON shift+, /a shift+.


Where I have typed shift+, you would use the 'open triangluar bracket' and where I have typed shift+. you would type a 'close triangular bracket' instead. Where I have typed ........ you would type the full web address http://www.etc.com and you do include the quatation marks. the bit that says WORDS THAT YOU WANT TO CLICK ON is where you would type 'click here' or something similar

To create a link to a website you need to use the HTML command "href".
The string looks like this:
text you wish to have
displayed goes here.
Let me explain:
The red bits are the actual HTML command that makes the link work. The
webaddress, here in blue is just that, eg. http://website.com
'Text you wish to display': This will appear as the actual link on the forum.

ok, thanks, did do that above, but does not always seem to work?



when the post ajust had a link (french bike pages), then it worked, but below that i did a post with exactly the same link and a photo and it did not work?



I stick to green text and tiny pic for the moment!

Sorry, rudely forgot to say thanks for the info Exile, I will try and set up an http board on my server and practice, instead of filling our forum with my errors!
