How to Hyperlink

Posted by TransitChuckG on Sun Dec 24 13:00:43 2017

A lot of contributors to this board have un-clickable links in their posts. That's the way the Chats work, you have to hyperlink them, so we don't have to copy and paste them to our header bars to open them.

Linking

It took me about 15 times to get this to work, but it's great after you get it going.

Thank you,Amanda.

Now wait for people to misinterpret those instructions and not replace those brackets.

Please link to this post in the future.

1) To put things in bold, surround the word(s) you want bolded with <b> and </b>

2) To put things in italics, surround the word(s) you want italicized with <i> and </i>

3) To put things with an underline, surround the word(s) you want underlined with <u> and </u>

4) To post a photo, use the following code: <img src="http://www.theurlofyourphoto.com/yourphoto.jpg">

5) To post a hyperlink, use the following code: <a href="http://www.subchat.com"> The text you want to display </a>

6) To post a photo hyperlink (a photo that will lead you to a website), use the following code: <a href="http://www.subchat.com"> <img src="http://www.theurlofyourphoto.com/yourphoto.jpg"> </a>

I've had an added code for hyperlinking for years - if you've noticed from some of my posts where I've done so.

One more: to embed a Youtube video, copy whatever text is in the "embed" section of the "Share" section of the video, paste it in the post, do not preview just hit post, exactly once, ignore the error and do not refresh. Find your post and the video will be there correctly.

Blind faith is required for this one.

Are you using Chrome? I'm able to preview YT videos using Firefox on Windows and Mac OS. For awhile, I was having issues w/ Firefox on the Mac, so I had to use Chrome, and I did have problems with YouTube.

Yup, Chrome. It's the most convenient, bookmarks and whatnot sync'd to my Chromebook.

Quite a pain in the ass. Other chatboards use better software so that it is clickable form merely placing the URL there.

It's not a pain in the ass at all. Once you learn how to do it, it only takes a few seconds. You're just stubborn.

Is not necessary.

Highlight unformated url, right click and select "OPEN"

It is so easy to access URLs in Fox et al that there is no knead to jump through hoops.
