links

Whats going on with the linking to other pages? It used to let you input a shorter thing but it doesnt pop up anymore and now the links are huge and stretchng out the pages?

You mean here on the forums? If you edit a post that has a link, the URL code around it builds into a full linked link, so you get:
http://www.starwars.com/kids/activity/crafts/f20051216/index.html

instead of:
http://www.starwars.com/kids/activity/crafts/f20051216/index.html

I've noticed this too, I will let Steve know.

I see you edited it already.

You used ot be able to type word to replace the link and cant anymore.

You mean like this?

texty texty texty too (http://www.starwars.com/kids/activity/crafts/f20051216/index.html)

If not, I don't know what you mean and you'll need to clarify.

Are you trying to say something with that link JT? I really don't appreciate you pushing your religious preferences on me.:p

[Kidhuman]

Yes JT just like that. I dont have that option when I click the hyper link thread. I do use Mozillia for a browser and am running Win98 if that helps any. I cant remember the code to type to do that either.

If you are using the Enhanced Interface Full WYSIWYG editing windows, what should be happening is you highlight the text you want linked and then click the "Insert Link" button and it'll pop up a window for you to insert the text of the link. If this is not happening but all the other editor tools work, it could be that the link popup is being blocked (very possible in fact).

The Standard Editor I've never got to work in Mozilla so you'd have to code it, the code for linking text is [ URL= link ] text here [/URL].


It'd serve you right Slicker! :p No, when I made the first reply I had just posted that Droidel story in the news and it was the link I still had in clipboard, and once it was already on the page it became the fastest link to copy.

Thanks JT, I will use the code from now one, make it easier.
