Creating Hyperlinks?

[CharlieWasHere]

Sorry if this is a newb question, but I'm trying to create a hyperlink using the title of my piece and the url for it. But I can't find a formatting page for how to connect the two. Can anyone show me an example? Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard Charlie. There's two main ways of putting in a URL.

First is from the fully featured reply option, click on the chain icon in the top row. Enter the name of the link and the URL.https://ravishmentacademy.com

Second option is to manually type out the following.

Code: Select all

[url=Ravishment Academy ]https://ravishmentacademy.com[/url]

Hope this helps.

@LtBroccoli You actually mixed up the the URL and the text of the link.

@CharlieWasHere If you are interessted in the use of BBCodes to format text in general, give the BBCode Guide a look. And here is what the code for the link to the BBCode Guide looks like:

Code: Select all

[url=https://ravishmentacademy.com/viewtopic.php?t=117]BBCode Guide[/url]

So in general:

Code: Select all

[url=URL of the site]Text the link should show[/url]

You can make your life a little easier by clicking on the "Insert URL" button above the text editor window. That is the symbol that looks like a small chain in the top row, just between the image symbol and the color wheel symbol.

I hope that helps. If not, please ask again!

Thanks a lot for the explanation — I’m so relieved I’m not the only one struggling with this. I honestly felt so old until I finally figured out how it works

Actually, I suspect you to struggle more with BBCode when you're younger. If you are 23 right now, you probably have never seen a forum like this before. When I registered on RavishU, I vaguely remembered how to use BBCodes back from when I registered on a forum as a teenager. But if you're Gen Z, you likely never even saw a phpBB forum before. So I feel old because I know how to use BBCode from my youth!

@Claire - Thanks. This site's a little different from RU, so I'm still getting used to it.
