Question for the geeks:

Where a link to the Internet is posted, some folk put the link in as "clicky" or "linky" etc. so you don't get a great rambling 3 line web address...

How do dey do dat? Is it edited in another application first then pasted in, or is it something you can add to the url switches in your post/reply?

Cheers,
Iain

put your link in the tag like this but with square brackets!

(url=www.timmskyhasbrokentheinternet.com)CLICKY(/url)

CLICKY

Isn't it a wonderful coincidence that these urls exist? :roll:

Are you saying this was simply an advertising ploy? :wink:
