[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AntonioFP45</i> <br /><br />Gsetter! Guy, I'm stumped! How did you do that? Those links? Great job in posting them, but how did you manage not having to write in "http://www.........etc" ?That's really good! Can you please share your secret?BTW: Great links!! [/quote] <br /> Thanks Antonio. I think it looks much neater and easier to read than a long url address. <br /> How to add a description to a link is shown in the [url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/faq.asp"]<u>FAQ</u>[/url] section under [url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/faq.asp#hyperlink"]<u>Creating a Hyperlink in your message</u>[/url]. <br /> <br />If you use this tag: <b>[</b>url="linkto"<b>]</b>description<b>[</b>/url<b>]</b> you can add a description to the link. (as a short cut, I copy and paste the url address from the Windows address bar) <br /> <br />Example: <br />blah blah blah <b>[</b>url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic"<b>]</b>This post<b>[</b>/url<b>]</b> <br />Outputs This: <br />Go to [url="http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=35857"]This post[/url] <br />
