    Link Testing

    Okay... I could use some help here.

    How can I make a word or phrase be a hyperlink: example:

    "Click Here" would open this link when clicked: http://www.vbaexpress.com/portal.php

    I've got one in my sig for PODA, but I just copied it, so I have no idea how to make one.

    Ok, it's sort of buggy, but this is what I did:
    1) Click the link button in the editor window when you're making your post
    2) type in the url in here and click OK
    3) Delete the text it puts in the hyperlink and type your desired text instead. It still keeps the correct url you entered.

    When I put in a link, using the link tool, it doesn't show me the HTML- the link just appears as it does in a submitted post.

    I looked through my forum options, but couldn't see a way to turn HTML on... any ideas

    Ok.... this is the true way to do it. There is a BBcode command tag named URL that you can use. To use it the way you want, you would type it something like this (remove the spaces for it to work):

    [ url="http://www.adobe.com" ]Adobe test[ /url ]

    My method,
    Copy the shortcut, type the text, select the words for the link and click the link button. Paste the link in the box.
