Clickable Links

Journal Stats

Making a link "clickable" is fairly easy once you have done it. I will attempt to lay out the instructions for you.

1. Copy the url address of the thread you would like to make "clickable". This means to highlight it, right click your mouse and click copy.

2. Go to your post, signature, etc where you will be placing the clickable link.

3. Type:
[*url=
Leave out the * symbol when you do this. I placed it there to show you how it should look.

4. Paste the url address you just copied directly after that. No spaces.

5. Place the ending bracket ] after the url address.

6. Type in what ever you want to be seen such as the name of your journal. Example: I would type Jimmie Jo's Journal. floydgirl might type Look At My Grandbaby! if she was posting a thread of baby pics.

7. End the whole line with [*/url], again leave out the * symbol when you do this.

Your line should look something like this:
[*url=http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=36]Chat it up in Chit Chat!!![*/url]

REMEMBER... LEAVE OUT THE * SYMBOL.

Leaving the * out, the link looks like this:
Chat it up in Chit Chat!!!

You can add color, bold type or change the font to your clickable link, also.
