Almost every thread I go on has at least one link on it. How is this done? He-e-e-lp.

[Goober]

C'mon clever MNers.
Tell me how to create a link.

[MarkStretch]

two of these followed by your link, then the word you want people to click on, followed by two more

like this

[Yurtgirl]

I perfected the old method and have never quite mastered the new one - bizarre as the new method should be easier

I always seem to end up with a massive long line of stuff

[Fimbo]

Copy the URL you want to link,
then open mn start a post with (then paste copied URL here) then type and that should be it.

You can also do it like this \link{paste url here\then type a description}

Hope that helps!

Where's the 'links you are my nemesis' thread? That had me crying with laughter.

[Yurtgirl]

Im practising...

I like this oven

Yurtgirl - Leave a space after the address you're linking then put what you want the link to say eg. this page, then ]] and you won't get a long line

It explains links next to the message box, under the smileys. It's easy

[Phoenix]

Oh i typed too slow you've done it Yurtgirl

[WingsofaAngel]

Hightlight eg www.mumsnet.com/Talk/2725/566883 right click mouse and copy.

here

[Goober]

Have I done it?

[nobodysfool]

How about in my language....
Open two windows one for MN and one for the one that you want to add as a link.
Go to the web page you want to add as a link.
Highlight the web address at the top of the screen-do this by clicking the left mouse button once so it turns blue.
Then while still blue do a right click of the mouse and select 'copy'.
Then, go back to mn message box,click in there and do a right click and select 'paste'.
Then add at the begining and at the end.
Does this help?

[MarkStretch]

Yay! Well done Goober!

[nobodysfool]

You did it.
Sorry, i take ages to type!

[Goober]

Thanks everyone.
I can now be clever like a real MNer.
Watch this space...........................
