Question About Text Links

[Lalwendë]

Now I don't know if anyone else has noticed but it's a bit different doing links right now, and I don't know if this is just me? You used to be able to put in some script to appear instead of having the whole web address of your link appear - I quite liked this as it was nice and tidy looking, and especially good for links in signatures.

Would any of you more techie folks know how/if I might do this now it has changed, presuming it has changed for everyone?

--- Now here's a very interesting question. --

Highlight the part of your post you want to appear as the link (I'm choosing "here's", here).

Click on the 'Insert Link' button.

Fill in the URL prompt.

et voilà -

Cheers! It sounds like doing a hyperlink in a document to me. I just hope I can manage to get the computer to 'hold onto' the highlight while I also highlight and copy the URL! I hope technology will acquire wings as it goes airborne when I fail....:eek:
