Naming Links

kanga · 08-06-2009, 09:59 AM

Sometimes I prefer to post links to images rather than posting the images themselves.
This most often occurs when I have more than 4 images.

But when I use the "Insert Link" option it always shows as Link.
Is there a way to have Link replaced with a title such as 1909 IHC?
If so, how?

Okay, now I'm confused.
I just posted some links and they showed up with the URL rather than the word Link.
Whatever.

Then you made an oooops in your post. Go look again, click on edit and you'll see where oooops is.

I'm missing something here.
Can't figure out what you're addressing.

Type your post, including the title (such as "here") that you want to appear as a link.

Example: "Pictures are posted here."

Then highlight the title by positioning the mouse in front of the first letter, and dragging it to the last letter. (Forum code doesn't have a way to show this, but there will be a dark blue background for the letters you have highlighted.)

Now click on the icon of a globe and chain. That's the one that pops up "Insert Link" when you hover your mouse over it.

A popup box will appear. Type or paste your url in the popup box and click "OK".

Example: Highlight the last three words in this sentence, and go from there: "Here is a picture of what is said to be the world's largest coin."

There you go. Click on the link and feast your eyes.

Thanks.
I'll work on it.
