How can I put links in my post? Pls

[Nana Helen]

Hello,

To clarify your trying to copy and paste a link to your post in the forums?

You have 2 ways to achieve this.

1. Copy your URL/link information with your mobile device then from browser or forum app like AC Forums App or Tapatalk you just long press in your post and it should give you a PASTE option.

2. If your using a mobile browser and browsing the forums in FULL DESKTOP VIEW then when making your post, at the bottom right of your post editor you will see a Go Advanced button. Select that option and it will open an advanced editor with more options. See the screenshot below.

Notice the RED BOX around some buttons, those buttons will allow you to add an IMAGE, URL & VIDEO or REMOVE THEM from your post. Click it and you can then copy and paste the URL into the pop up box and it will create a hyperlink in your post.


Hope this helps!

I came into this thread a few minutes ago and could see yr image you posted clear as a bell, but now I'm back in via ac forums its the same little broken box. I wonder if I'll be able to see all images that i can't see in here. Would be useful.

Not sure about, but you might have to do this manually
Quote my post and have a look what I wrote between the URLs in square brackets of my example link to Google ...


This is an example link to Google

Oh my goodness!!!!!
It worked!! LOL
How cool is that. I suppose u could copy the URL but as plain txt, then put the other stuff around it?
That would be great for really long URL's lol.

Yep, you're right

And you'd even let the forum app create the link with the quare brackets for you and then you'd edit the link for to put in your text.

Cool

Yay it worked!!!
Now I'll find a web page, copy the link, paste it in here and then edit it. lol
Back soon.

OK......

mmmmm didn't put the brackets, I'll try the link looking button

Lol the first one was the actual image, the second was a broken image box

I'll try the other option in the link button...

I am a peeking dragonfly

Oh my GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!! It worked!!! That is sooooo cool lol

So the "insert image link" option puts the image in the post,
And the "insert URL link" option puts in the link which can be edited to have your own text showing instead of the URL text.

What an incredibly useful thing to learn!
Thank you so much Adamsberg for sharing that with me!

It's using BB code ... can do a lot of nice things, but it's dependent on the forum which terms you'd use of it.

Here some info ...

That's cool! I had a quick look and saved the link. Thanks

I should probably read it more before I start to ask you questions, but wondering, can it be used outside of forums? Eg in emails & information organising apps like Evernote & OneNote?

I use it only in forums, so I don't know where it'd be used otherwise ... BB Code stands for Bulletin Board Code.

 

[Nana Helen]

Oh OK
I'll read about it on their site hopefully
Shall l let u know if I find out anything interesting?
