Changing url's/links
Does anyone know how to change a link/url so I can change the name?
In my signature block I have the link to my Ride reports but they are long winded and wondered if I could shorten them i.e
from this
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...and-laos-79478
to this
Lonerider in Thailand and Laos
I am on a Mac if it makes a difference
Cheers
Wayne

The bottom line in my signature looks like this...
Access the {url=http://www.morocco-knowledgebase.net/forum/forum.php}{COLOR="Red"}{B}Morocco Knowledgebase{/B}{/COLOR}{/url}
except that in the example above I had to use squigley { and } brackets if order for you to see them properly—you need to change them back to square brackets [ and ].

I'll try it
Squigglies every where
{url=http://www.doesnot.exist.org}{COLOR="Red"}{B}test .. does not exist{/B}{/COLOR}{/url}
And with
{ replaced with [ ... ummm 6 off
} replaced with ] ... ummm 6 off
test .. does not exist
Does that work?
So
{url=http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/ride-tales/lonerider-in-northern-thailand-laos-79478}{COLOR="Red"}{B}Lonerider in Thailand and Laos{/B}{/COLOR}{/url}
becomes
Lonerider in Thailand and Laos
So .. ![Oops2](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/oops.gif) you did something wrong Lonerider. Only convert one url line at a time .. so one line might be Northern Thailand for example.
Can be made simpler by leaving out the color and bold ...
{url=http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/ride-tales/lonerider-in-northern-thailand-laos-79478}Lonerider in Thailand and Laos{/url}
becomes
Lonerider in Thailand and Laos
Not as attractive, but you can see the syntax better .. url declaration followed by the desired text.

Perhaps you could use a spell checker as well...
(hint: rehearsal)

I can spell (... simple things), or I can type ....
Much like riding and navigating... I do like to stop to really navigate. Big cities are not friendly in that stopping to find your way is difficult .. especially on busy roads.
The speel checker I have looks to be some new version of speeling ... apart from things like color ... why not kulor if you going to change it?
