|

we have all at one time or another posted a link to another page or another site that stretches the page far too wide. heres how to get round that......and name the link to whatever you want to call it.
the normal code for a link is ......
[url]the link name[/url]
to do the above the code is changed like this
[url=the link name]whatever you want to call it[/url]
important .....no spaces between code and words
thus http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/index.php
could be forum |

| Great info, but don't you just click on links no matter how long they are? Isn't it just as easy to click on long links as short? (I'm probably missing something as usual) |

Hob is correct, a shorter link is also neater within a paragraph.
