The insert link button
The link buttons:
https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/im...ttons_link.jpg How to add a link to a post: URLs pages, images, etc on the internet are uniquely referenced with a URL ... a Uniform Resource Locator. To share a page with others over the internet - we have to Link to that page, that is, share the URL with others. Where is the URL? your browser normally shows the URL of the page you are viewing in the top of its frame and looks like this: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/images3/urls.jpg Sharing the link So in our case all that is required to share the link with others is to copy that text into a post. In windows, place your mouse pointer over the text and right click. This will highlight the text and open a menu with a copy option. Copy the text then return to your post and right click in the message drafting box and select paste from the resultant menu, and you're done. So what are the link buttons for? The Link button provides a more 'tidy' way of displaying a link: copy the URL as above, but highlight some text in the post instead, the click the insert link button (the left one of the pair, a pop-up will appear into which the URL can be pasted, click ok. so the link now appears like this: Here is ebay's WW1 Badge Secton. which is better than: Here is ebay's WW1 Badge Section: http://collectables.shop.ebay.co.uk/World-War-I-1914-1918-/13962/i.html?rt=nc&Type=Badges&_dmd=1&_dmpt=UK_Collectab les_Militaria_LE&_fln=1&_ssov=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m 282 |
