    Hi I was wondering how to insert a link to another webpage without all the computer code mumbo jumbo to click on. Like if I want someone to look at another webpage, I can say click here and the word here would be the link instead of http://www.realestate.blah,blah,blah.

    Also when copying a quote from someone else’s post like this;

    How do I put up the top of the quotation box, ‘originally posted by FredSmith’. Is there a way to do it or does it just need typing in manually?

    I’ve think I’ve explained what I’m trying to get at??? Anyone out there willing to share the secrets of ‘total forum utilisation?’

    Thanks…G7

    This is what my son advises about your first question:

    click here

    is made by:
    [ url = “http://www.test.com” ] click here [ /url ]

    but without the spaces.
    Hope it works.

    G7, is the ‘originally posted by blahblah’ not already on top of the quote? I always use the whole quote and then delete what I do not want, leaving the name of the original poster on top.
    Is this what you mean? Perhaps there’s an easier way, but this is what I do.

    Thank Celivia, I really appreciate your help. With that ‘quote’ button at the end of each post, I had no virtually no idea it was there let alone what it did.

    The link thing ‘click here’ seems a bit messy but at least I know how to do it now. It took a few go’s and even though my computer almost went for a trip out the window I’ve got the hang of it now.

    Thanks guys…G7 [biggrin]
