Thanks, Marc 1) type the descriptive text in the message box. 2) highlight it with your mouse 3) click the "globe with binoculars" symbol just above the message box 4) enter the URL 5) click "OK" you're done! -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcrone Posted October 1, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted October 1, 2004 AHA! Thanks Dave. I was looking at entering the URL and then replacing it with the text string. It's the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted October 3, 2004 #7 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Jackie, It looks like what I just printed above. You only see this when you do the "Post Reply" not the Quick Reply. Now I just need to figure it out also.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globaliser Posted October 3, 2004 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I dont have/see it?Do you see it in a row of icons immediately above the text entry box where you are typing your post? If not, I suspect that you also don't see a group of "smilies" to the right of the text entry box? (Different from the "post icons" which are below the text entry box.) If you haven't got either of those, then do this:- Go to your User CP (link near top left hand corner of this page) Go to Edit Options (from list on left hand side of page) Go to the bottom of the page In the penultimate option, change it from Basic to either Standard or Enhanced Save Changes The next time you type a post, you will see the blue globe icon in a row immediately above the text entry box where you are typing.
