Can someone remind me how to post links into a forum reply so that an extra long link does not require the reader to scroll the screen horizontally.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my earlier reply (about faucets).

Here you go, Richard.

Oops! I tried to cut and paste the section from the FAQ instructions. Not sure why it didn't work, but guess that disqualifies me as a "forum expert". <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>

Richard,
If you go the FAQ page and click on "can I add a hyperlink to my post" there are a couple of ways to do it. I use the following;

If you use this tag: (url="linkto")description(/url) you can add a description to the link.

This Example:
(url="http://www.anything.com")Anything(/url)

Where I have used "<b>( )</b>" use brackets "<b>[ ]</b>". I did that so you can see the code. What will happen is the code will be invisible and the "Anything" will be blue and underlined and it will be a "hot" link. You can then use short descriptions for your links. I keep the code and all my links in a word processing document so I can just copy the code and insert the correct URL and description.

I hope this helps.

Hi Richard,

When you click on "Reply to Topic" the familiar box for composing your reply will appear. At the bottom of that box you'll see the word "Mode" with a dropdown menu next to it. The default selection is "Basic," but if you click on the down arrow you can select "Prompt" instead.

If you select "Prompt" the system will automatically ask you for a description and a URL address when you click on the "Insert Hyperlink" icon.

That's the easiest way I've found to do it ... 'hope that makes sense.
