Hey, guys - quick question - when you post links in your replies here, how do you 'mask' them so something like:

http://interimator2/therewas.a.big.h...dsjfuefjoifua;(shortened fake url - Bushdog)

looks more like:

Click Here

And does it work in e-mails as well? Thanks!

It's the first item of business discussed in the "vbcode" link at the bottom of every page here at DVDTalk.

It's really easy...

here's the code

(a href=URL)CLICK HERE(/a)

Just substitute the ( for < when you do it

To just show you what I mean...

http://www.dvdtalk.com
<a href=www.dvdtalk.com>Click Here</a>

If you want to see how the 2nd one looks, just quote this post.

or in VBcode type

[URL=http://www.something.com/something.jpg]Click Here[/URL]


and that will look like: Click Here

Not doing it exactly the vB way can cause problems if you post more than one URL i.e. you <i>need</i> to include those quotemarks to be "safe"!
