Posting links

How do I post a link without displaying the entire URL? For instance, just linking the word “here” instead of having to write http://www.straightdope.com.

Like this

Or like this with square brackets instead of curly:
{url=“http://www.straightdope.com”}Like this{/url}

You need spaces before the opening and closing brackets.

{url=“full URL goes here”}your chosen title goes here{/url}

Replace the curly brackets with square brackets, don’t forget the double quote marks and you’ll be away.

Thanks much.

Didn’t work. Am I supposed to use square brackets instead of curly,as one post said? Try with square brackets.
