Like this.Sorry the link is so massive, I don't know how to
cut things like this down.
Click on the URL box in the Post a reply section. Type = after the url and before the bracket. Add the link. Type what you want to be the link after the bracket. Click the URL button again.
To see it now, click on Quote and the unformatted version will be there. You can see what I mean.
Hope this helps.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

Sorry, but I don't understand the terms.
Am basically self-taught and following directions is
like trying to read the 160 page book that came
with my camera. I cannot make heads nor tails
out of it.
I am more of a "show me" and I get it, read
directions like Tab A into slot B, just don't work.
