Can someone describe the procedure to "rename" or shorten a really long link to so that it can easily be posted?

Thanks

Type this:

 

Rename your link[/ url]

 

Take the space out between the / and url

Oftimes the message board software does the shortening for you. Copy/paste your link into a message and check it with Preview Post.

Thanks all. I've learned more today than I've learned in a long time.

Here's another way: Type the words you want to show as a hyperlink; Highlight them and then click on the "Insert Link" button and type in your address (remember you'll need http:\\). The text you selected appears as a hyperlink that goes to the address you selected:)
