Linking

Linking is useful in many ways - especially as the forums gather more and more posts and threads to keep track of.

The easiest way is to just type in the address:

http://www.cityofIF.com
or
www.cityofIF.com

It will automatically be turned into a link.

But if you don't want to type out the address - you want an actual link, with some descriptive text to click on - you can use the URL tags when you are creating a post.

When you are writing it in the post it will look like this:

Code: [url=http://www. cityofIF.com] A storygaming site you should check out [/url]



When submitted it looks like this :

A storygaming site you should check out

This comes in especially handy for linking to other posts or threads on this site because the address is so long and meaningless:

http://www.cityofif.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19771#19771

By putting it in URL tags and adding a message instead it becomes much more understandable.

When you wish to link to a specific post within a thread, rather than linking to the entire thread, you will need to copy the link to the post of interest. To locate the link, look at the header for the post:

:!: Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2005 2:23 pm Post subject: Images

A small box appears beside the word Posted, replaced in this example with the :!:

This is the shorcut unique to that post. Copy that shortcut, and then you can use the linking technique as outlined above by Smee.
