Shortening posted links

[DiscoDes]

Anyone got a dummies guide to posting shrotened links?

So instead of allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=help&action=post

I just get the CLICKY type links?

TIA

[Deleted]

simple..it's about the BB code Des...

so allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=help&action=post becomes clicky

this linky might help

I could`nt fathom it out.
I dont just put ]http://www.allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=newestthreads[ round the link, do I?

EDIT: No apparently not

Brian, using Janets example your code should look like this....

[ url=http://allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=help&action=post ]clicky[ /url ]

I've added spces in the code so that you can see how it's written mate, remove the spaces and it becomes clickable

Well I’m so bloody thick I still can’t even get it. Must be something to do with my age.

I have been trying for 3 weeks now to show a video clip from you tube on another forum unrelated, without all this

I know there is a way just to put a direct picture, but can I do it… nope

[Brian]

Its easy to post a youtube video Pacer.



Once you have c&p`d the youtube address.
Click the box bottom left that says tube above the smilies.
paste between the [ youtube ][ /youtube ]

It will only work if you hit reply, not by writing straight in quick reply

[Pacer]

Thanks Brian will give it a go.

[Brian]

click that icon/image, whatever its called and paste your youtube addy between brackets.

[Pacer]

Sorry to hijack you thread Des, if this works I will go to the foot of my stairs!

[Pacer]

Ha ha, thanks Brian, somebody keep telling it’s all to do with Embed though you-tube copy some bits but not all then paste it. that was so easy.

Brian, at post 7 you have the /in the wrong place, it should be -

[url]=http://allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=classified&action=display&thread=7636]clicky[/url]


Which will give you -

clicky
