If anyone needs a pick-me-up...

ForestPark Rivendell Nov 16 2012, 2:20pm Views: 217 alas link not clickable to me iIexperinced same when a posted a you tube link. Is there a trick /? thanks

SirDennisC Half-elven Nov 16 2012, 9:14pm Views: 207 If the link is not clickable copy and paste it into a new tab. If you or anyone wants to write a clickable link it is explained here (at the bottom of the page). While creating a post, you can easily access that information again by clicking "Get Markup Help" at the top of the "Write Post" window. (This post was edited by SirDennisC on Nov 16 2012, 9:15pm)

Silverlode Forum Admin / Moderator Nov 16 2012, 9:42pm Views: 204 Two more options. For viewing: On some browsers, you can click on an unclickable link by doing the following: Highlight the link, then right click and from the menu that appears, choose to open it in either a new tab or a new window. This may vary on different OS or browsers, but it works like a dream for me. For creating: If you want to create a clickable link without having to remember markup code, you can do it using the Advanced Editor. Write the text you want to use as the link, highlight it, then click on the link (chain) icon in the toolbar above the post window. In the menu that comes up, delete the http:// that is already there and write or paste in your URL. Click submit, and voila! Your highlighted text is now a clickable link. It's the pre-supplied "http" that causes people problems. Get rid of that, and it works great. Silverlode

SirDennisC Half-elven Nov 16 2012, 9:56pm Views: 200 Highlight, right-click is a handy option. Thanks! I see that in chrome at least, it is a handy option for searching any term that you highlight... old dog still learnin, that's me. (This post was edited by SirDennisC on Nov 16 2012, 9:57pm)

Magpie Immortal Nov 16 2012, 10:01pm Views: 196 Yes, I use this right click a lot these days... both for following unclickable links and for searching on Google. I just highlight an actor's name in an article, for example, right click, and 'google it'. I have Chrome but I tried the non-clickable url trick in Firefox and I think it worked. I don't know if it does the google thing, but there might be add ons for it. LOTR soundtrack website ~ magpie avatar gallery TORn History Mathom-house ~ Torn Image Posting Guide

"Highlight the link, then right click and from the menu that appears, choose to open it in either a new tab or a new window.

Thanks very much, Silverlode!

Silverlode Forum Admin / Moderator Nov 17 2012, 8:26pm Views: 266 You're most welcome. I think I discovered it one day while copying a link to paste it - and found I didn't need to. Hooray! It does make life just a little bit easier. Silverlode
