Thread: Need some help...

Hey mods, if this is the wrong place please let me know.

You would think that I should know how to do this by now...

But, how do you format a link that you have attached in your post such that one word (or phrase) describes the link?

I see fellow SRP members do this all the time and I have searched to no avail.

Please show me how or direct me to where I can learn.

I need some skillz.

Above the text box, to the right of the text formatting icons, there are two green balls or globes. The one on the left is "insert link". Highlight your text, click the globe and type in, or paste, your link.

I'm a tad bit daft in this respect...

If I have a URL that I wish to link to and I use the tool that looks like a green globe with chain "link" the the box shows up for me to copy the url into.

I then select this tool and a box shows up that shows "type" and "url". In the URL box there is "http://" and space for me to copy the link into.

When I post the link, this routinely shows the entire text of the hyperlink. The box does not allow me to use a word to substitute the text of the hyperlink.

I apologize in advance if my request for help is tedious.
