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

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 ].

Thanks Tim
On my phone at the moment so will have a proper look later and see if I can work it out

No, that didn't work, just turned the whole thing Blue
Back to the drawing board

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? :thumbup1:

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: 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.

Haha, thought it might have been me. I will try again...and again...and again :rofl:

:rofl: Done it, took another two goes though. :D

Thanks guys

Perhaps you could use a spell checker as well... :innocent:

(hint: rehearsal)

Haha, What a muppet :rofl:

Wayne

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. :mchappy:

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? :thumbdown:
