The correct way to post a link ! -
mr.pure - 07-06-08
It's a constant pain in the batty and spoils the flow of a thread when people just paste a link as is.
Long links don't work so please, take the time to make them forum friendly !
Here's how, if you didn't already know !
ALL EXAMPLES BELOW ARE SHOWN INCLUDING SPACES TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO, THEY DON'T WORK BECAUSE THEY HAVE SPACES !
Let's say you want people to take a look at a particular page, we'll call it www .you'vegivenmebollockache.com !
What you do is, put the URL or www bit, in between a set of these [ url] [/url], so it'd look like this, [ url] www .you'vegivenmebollockache.com [/url] but even then, with long arsed url's, it can make the forum look a bit tatty.
So do us all a further favour while you're at it and add a little of your personality to the gig by locking the url in, like this.
[url= www .you'vegivenmebollockache.com ]Achey Nads ![ /url]
Booyaa !
The forum will look much neater, the links will work first time and you won't be giving me or anybody else the bollock ache looking for the page you're waffling on about !
Here's the finished link to show you the finished dealio !
Enjoy !
Achey Nads !

No.
I put it in chat cos it's a common problem that needs addressing.
I don't need any help and it ain't a request !
