Personal Messages

[JimL]

Hi Mark!

I've tried to send you a personal message a couple of times, and I'm not even sure the function works.  I'd like another brief tutorial on how to hide hyperlinks in posts behind "here", or "this review", or whatever, because I forgot one of the things I have to do to conceal the link.  I would like to know if you got those personal messages, because if you didn't, then the function doesn't work.

Personal Messages (PMs) work fine, as you will by now have seen, Jim.

I'll repeat for everyone's benefit the way to turn a word or phrase in your post into a hyperlink:

So that you can see the code, I've substituted "$$$" for the code "url".

1. In the post, as you are writing it, select the word or phrase which you want to turn into a hyperlink and click the globe button. You'll see that it is now preceded "url" in square brackets and followed by "/url" in square brackets, thus:

[$$$]Your link here[/$$$]

2. Now type "=" after the first "url" and then your link address, in this case "www.raff.org", thus:

[$$$=www.raff.org]Your link here[/$$$]

Replacing the $$$" with "url", this becomes:

Your link here

3. That's it!
