At one time, I knew how to do that. But, I have forgotten how. Let's say the website address might read something like the following:

[Name] a Website All About the Things That [Name] Does

Reduced to:

Here ["Here" Being the URL.]

Thanks!

A couple of way.
On the site it's simply a case of typing the link word, highlighting it and using the hyperllink button above.

So it looks like this:

Code:

---

[URL="http://www.whereever.com"]HERE[URL]
Need to remember to add the closing / on the last URL tag.

---

For anywhere else on the net TinyURL is useful

Thanks, Ben!

I was just about to send you a private message about my question.

I posted a link on the following thread that didn't look anything like what it does now when I copied it. It's much more than I would like to have in a link that concerns me.

I see your problem here.
If the URL is simply C&P then the information from the header of the page is used to name the link, rather than the more normal blah!.

This is part of the sites SEO implementation.

You can edit and reduce the amount of information if required.

Was going to try to reduce the link as per your instructions. Couldn't go back to the site that I listed because it seems to be temporarily unavailable.

I removed the link from my post there, temporarily. Would like to put it back later. But, it still exists in the quote by the poster from China.

Would you please remove it from the quote, and/or reduce it, please?

Thanks!

Tis done ;)

All reduced.

Cool and thanks! I'll have to practice how to do that myself! Hopefully, the question and information here will also be a magnet to others who might have the same kind of question.
