How to link an image

This example links to our website



[URL=http://www.ashaleeen.co.uk/][IMG]http://image12.imageschack.com/some_image.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

The link and image urls in the above code are just examples. You need to insert your own link and image url.

[DT originally posted these instructions on another thread. I've copied them here so that they're easier to find - Remaha]

This is how you do text instead of a whole link.

Thanks Rem.

You can post a link to another thread by copying the url of that thread and enclosing it in url tags

For example: See Resources

[url=http://fakersforais.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=ch1&action=display&thread=1159755349&]Resources[/url]

Or

See [url]http://fakersforais.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=ch1&action=display&thread=1159755349[/url]

The linked thread opens in a new window. Does anyone know how to prevent this. The answer may be browser dependent.

My second question is does anyone know how to link to a specific post on the thread?

Copy the "link to post" url in the lower right of the post you want.

That's embarrassing, I'd never noticed that "link to post" thing

Just trying out my new found skill. I right clicked the "Link to post" link, selected "Copy shortcut" and then pasted the link in the normal manner.

Let's see whether it opens in a new window . .

Link to Tyson post on Resources

Answer . . yes it still opens in a new window

It dosent seem to work in BBcode? or maybe just this forum???

an option for opening a link that would normally open in a new window is to click and drag the link into the address bar of the window you already have open... if you hold the mouse over the address bar for a little while then a little square 'shortcut' icon should appear... -you don't have to hold the mouse- thats just explaining what it does... also, this will only work for direct addresses such as www.ashaleeen.co.uk/ or www.ashaleeen.co.uk/ but not javascript etc and html in Dogtireds post above

NB: i use IE so apologies if this doesn't work for other browsers
