Fix those unclickable links easy!

03-25-2008, 03:01 PM

I know this is'nt really Nomad related, but I think this will get better visibility here, and it's something a lot of members obviously don't know.

If you have to post a long link, and it wraps around and such, it usually ends up not being "clickable". There's an easy way to solve this.

Type it like this:

The ***** represents your huge ugly link. just paste it in there
type in a cutsie but short text where I put "CLICKMEBABY"

The actual link goes invisible once you post, but now it's clickable & doesn't clutter your post with 3 lines of code that doesn't work anyway.

Easy & simple, huh?

No way, the shameless plug was in the safety forum, this was just being afraid it wouldn't work after you tried it :)

Go open a free account at Photobucket.com

When it asks if you wanna upload photos, click a "browse" button and find the photo on your computer.

click "open"

scroll down & click "upload"

When it uploads you'll see the photo.

scroll down & click "save & continue"

Look for the box that says "IMG code"
(it's under the new photo you can now see)

Click it and it will reply "copy" for a second

the link is now on your Windows clipboard.

Come back here and make a new post

Right Click inside the message window and pick "paste"

Pick post reply.

Yer done! WooHoo! Go getta beer!
