<stops dusting the tomes in the dictionary section and puts on dummy hat>
Webmaster, I have seen a couple of posts where a long url was replaced by a word representing the url and which would function as the hyperlink... How to type that in the message text?
<absently waves dusting rag close to Kahonen who is still loking for the word ostracise>
Any helpfull tips for the scribes on how to perform this little trick of scribe-magic?
Rather than typing in the URL into your post (which will automatically convert to a hyperlink), simply highlight the text you wish to have as a hyperlink and hit the "Insert Hyperlink" button on the toolbar on the post entry panel (its the icon with the chain underneath a globe). This will place [URL] tags around the text, next you add an EQUALS symbol after the first URL followed by the actual hyperlink in quotes, e.g. URL="http://www.candlekeep.com". you will not see the actual URL, only your word highlighted.
You can see an example of this on the forum FAQ on the forum menu. Hope this makes sense.
