Tips on Posting on this forum.

Hi All

URL's in forum posts:

The URL button above the text entry window will show this if you hover over it;

Code: Select all

Insert URL; [url]http://url[/url] or [url=http://url]URL text[/url]

This means if you type

Code: Select all

 [url]http://www.freesat.cn/forum[/url]

you get http://www.freesat.cn/forum

If you type

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.freesat.cn/forum]Freesat Website[/url]

you get Freesat Website

If you press on the URL button you get

Code: Select all

[url][/url]

You can type or paste text between the two square brackets or add the "=", url and text.
Or you can highlight some text and then press the URL button and the highlighted text is placed between the two square brackets.

Code: Select all

[url]Highlighted text[/url]

Your url= looks like this.

Code: Select all

[url=https://www.google.com]Highlighted text[/url]

Don't highlight the "space" at the start ofyour text as the forum software removes it like this.


This saves having very long urls on the page.

To get square brackets "[" on this post with out them being used by the forum software
I used the Code button and added the text between the two code headers.

Use the "Preview" button to see what your page looks like before you "Submit" the post.
