Hi, I am having a hard time referencing or "hot linking" another thread from within my post. Could one of the "experts" please post a sample of the code needed Thanks, JohnM
Sure John, Here is a section of the FAQ explaining VB code. I realize I left out, and apologize for not including URL LINKING, I will add an explanation later tonight when I update the FAQ. In the meantime there are 2 ways to refrence a URL: (I have to put spaces on each side of the brackets "[" and "]" in order for you to READ the code...you need to remove the spaces for the code to function) 1) If you want to mark some link as a hotlink, you simply put [ url ] WWW.LINK.COM [ /url ] (NOTE: The board software will sometimes do this automatically when you put WWW. in your post, as it did here) 2) If you want to hotlink some text to point to a URL you simply put [ url=WWW.LINK.COM ] CLICK HERE [ /url ] If you want to SEE how this is done on ANY post with a hot link in it, you can hit the QUOTE button and it will REVEAL the text that the previous poster put in to his/her code, and you will see the EXACT syntax. When done hit the BACK button so you really don't ADD A POST. For instance hit the QUOTE button below and see how I entered this link to the FAQ: HERE IS AN EXAMPLE -Peace, Dave
Dave, That was a great help. I didn't think to "Quote" a message to get a look at the VB code in it. That trick will help me figure out a lot of little posting tricks Thank you for responding, JohnM
