Newbie Question

OK will now reveal ignorance.

 

How can I make those tidy looking little links? Sometimes someone here will have a link made up of a zillion characters, but it will show up in the post as link. How do you do that?

Use the insert link button. Click that first. Copy the URL into it. Hit Okay. Next step allows you to put in a title so Google.com is actually this

Google.com

 

 

If you copy a link to the response box, and then highlight it and click the url/link button, it will do this http://www.google.com/ which looks like this

 

http://www.google.com/

Worked like a charm. Shazam. Thank you.

Type whatever you want. For example "Link"

 

Then highlight it.. and click the button next to the "underline" button called "Insert Link"

 

Edit and Update: Okay, CTskifreak beat me to it.

I think around 1998 I found out how to display pics and create links. It was embarrassing because it seemed as if everybody online knew how to code things except me. And I thought "No way am I learning http and stuff". Even grabbing screenshots and opening them up in PS4 was a challenge to me. I kept pestering everyone I could post to in order to find out how things were done.

I even learned how to use WSFTP and upload smilies and images for a message boards' appearance. If asked to do that now I'd have no clue, I forgot it all. But I remember it was like actually being physically inside a Windows' registry. Daunting, to say the least.
