How do you make clickable named links?

Post by Peter34 »

I can see that some of you are able to make links where the URL of the link is hidden behind a text (but I presume you can still see the URL when you hover the mouse cursor over the link - that's not the point). That works for me in some other forums, but not in this one. For me, the "URL" button only works if I first paste in the URL, then select it, then click the URL button. As you can see (currently) in my sig.

How do you do that, in this forum interface/system? I'd like my sig to look a bit nicer...

You can do clickable named links by doing something like that:

Code: Select all

[url=https://forums.factorio.com/forum/]Factorio Forums[/url]
It will look this way:
Factorio Forums

I usually first enter the text (Factorio Forums), then select it and click the URL button, then add the =https://forums.factorio.com/forum/ to the [url] part.

This can be seen also, when you click now on "answer" and then look at the right side under the smilies: There is the link BBCode. Click on it and it is all explained.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
