Just testing things out

I can certainly include a standard URL—you know, the one starting with http... but I've completely blanked on the syntax. How does one format it so the post just displays "Saint Peter," yet clicking the text redirects you straight to the site? Essentially, I want to hide the raw link within the text.

How on earth did I forget such a basic thing? 😠

Is this what you had in mind?

You end up with this Website

..thanks..oh yeah!...that...But dammit...back in the day (I don't know, maybe back when we were using the "old forum," I think there was an icon for this...I'm not entirely certain...but let me give it a shot...)

[*URL="http://www.google.com";]SEARCH UNTIL YOU'RE BLUE IN THE FACE[/URL] - clearly not like this...

How about this..?
[*url=http://www.website.com]Website Name[/url]
[*url=http://www.google.com]SEARCH UNTIL YOU'RE BLUE IN THE FACE[/url]

This is how "Desire" explained it—but it just doesn't work for me.

True, but look, you have that option available even when you're just drafting a post—you can use the insert link tool! 🙂

but more like this..?
[*url=http://www.stranica.com]Website Name[/url]
[*url=http://www.google.com]JUST USE GOOGLE[/url]

That was how "Desire" explained it—but that doesn't really work for me.

True, but look at what she wrote if you want to remove the asterisk 👍

http://www.google.com

Page - this is yours....

now mine...
google

ISSUE.... THANK GOD..!!! (and thanks to you too, Daniel Chase83... lol)

BTW... I thought there was an icon for "insert link," where you type the "link name" and then another window pops up for you to paste the actual URL.. But whatever..
As you can see, sometimes saying things a hundred times is just common sense.... lolol

Well done. :klap:

Daniel Chase83 said:Sure, but look at what she actually wrote—she said to remove the asterisk 👍

Wait... hold on... this is exactly how she phrased it in her post:

...So I'll just write the code and insert an asterisk * into it....

Really?

(Let me see if I can actually remember this...)

So, on the webpage, it's explained like this...

(LOL... IT WORKS... UGH... HAHAHA... what a total stupidon

Sophia Castillo35 said:🙂

Lol... thanks for the smile, I guess, but where exactly did I go wrong here? Wasn't that asterisk supposed to indicate a mandatory field on your end, or did I just completely misconfigure something?

Regardless... with the asterisk or without it... IT WORKS.

F**a unknown

unknown🙏

You clearly weren't paying close attention:

...So I'll just write out the code and insert an asterisk * (to prevent it from turning into what it’s supposed to be). As usual, I'll show how it looks right below the code.

Basically, I used the asterisk to unknown it from appearing correctly. It’s just basic logic: if the asterisk prevents it, then without the asterisk, it works fine.

My instructions are perfectly clear; if someone fails to grasp them, that's on them. 😁

Looks like I managed to pull it off too🙂

Amy Taylor74 said:Hey, it worked for me too!🙂

Nice job 👍

I suppose I should offer my "congratulations" as well...

Bravo, Amy Taylor74... Sit down! A solid five out of five for commitment!

Amy Taylor74, hats off to you👍

Don't go too crazy with the compliments. I might actually start believing my own hype🙂

we won't 😁

Alright then, fair enough.

...and then they have the nerve to complain about me posting in the help subforum... 😂

I don't have much patience left for things I've already warned everyone about a hundred times. Please, don't test me 🙂
