Renaming sources

#1

Post by Oldgringo »

Say I want to copy a previous post or source and play it forward as in "look here"

How do I condense/rename the source thread/post?

Thanks...

Like this:

The above link points back to this thread, and uses "this:" for the text you want to have displayed instead of the url link


In the below code substitute square brackets [ for the curly brackets {

{url=http://url-of-post-you-want-to-point-to}text-you-want-to-have-displayed-instead-of-url-link{/url}

Thanks. That little trick is pretty cool. I'll see if I can master it right after I recover from my heat stroke.
