ArabiaTerra Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Right, some people can do this so I know it's possible but I can't figure out how. I want to post a link to a Wiki page but have a description appear rather than the link itself. Example: Zombie Lies which when clicked on takes you to the Wiki page on zombie lies. So how do I do it? Edit: There isn't actually a Wiki page on zombie lies so I must have found the description somewhere else (Doh!), but anyway, my question stands.

Nigel Bridgman-Elliot Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Testing it, looks like its: (Which appears different to what the help that goes along with the URL button seems to be saying.. have I made a mistake, or is it wrong ?) {url=http://www.webaddress.com} description{/url} Replace {} with [] Nanos But I usually don't bother myself, as at some point when your message ends up being copied in some systems, all people will see is the description and possibly have no idea on the real URL. (Which is a real pain when your searching for old stuff/links and all you find is a description in some google cache!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
