How do you rename links?

[CrunchyAdams82]

Educate me please.

I see quite often that people will post links with just one simple word like;

"See post HERE for details" (with the word 'here' being the link itself).

How do you do that?

Always wanted to know..

Show off some examples please, so other people 'not in the know' get what I'm talking about.

[ URL=URL LINK HERE]NAME YOU WANT HERE[ /URL] just get rid of the spaces next to the bit.

Code: Select all

[url=URL LINK HERE]NAME YOU WANT HERE[/url]

If you ever wonder how someone does something, just hit 'quote' on the post - you'll see the raw BB code, then just click back rather than post.

So in summary, for anybody wanting to rename 'links' or 'threads', add the characters marked in red to your pasted link, and you can name it whatever you like! Nice.

link or thread]whatever you want to rename it as

So then, instead of a link looking like this;
Worth a watch - 'The Secret' Movie: http://www.blogoftheworld.com/chill-poi ... k-to-watch

It will look like this instead;
Worth a watch - 'The Secret' Movie: 'The Secret'

Tidy.

Thanks @Merlin & @Indigolemon.

Why would you not hyperlink the first 'The Secret' and leave it at that, you're almost defeating the point.

e.g.

Worth a watch - 'The Secret'

I wanted the two examples to be identical, for consistency.
