How Can I Create Hyperlinks in Posts?

Phred · October 10, 2000, 09:16 AM

My E-mail program automatically creates a hyperlink when I type a WWW address; apparently TFL doesn't. How can I create a link and save people the cutting and pasting?

The software that TFL runs on *does* automatically create hyper links when you type in the address.

You can type in the URL by typing only www.thefiringline.com
or by typing http://www.thefiringline.com

Or you can make true hyperlinks by typing:
{URL=http://www.thefiringline.com]The Firing Line[/URL] note that you must type the full http://.etc. when using this method.

HTH!
