Thread: How do you rename a web link?

Say I wanted this link.... http://www.torrent-invites.com/track...ic-2010-a.html .... to appear as just "Waffles" on a giveaway, how would I go about doing that? I googled it and people were explaining all this crazy code that you have to change. There must be an easier way. Thanks in advance:)

You would use a link in this format

HTML Code:

[url=http://www.torrent-invites.com/tracker-reviews/58030-waffles-fm-wfl-music-2010-a.html]Waffles[/url]

And then the link will appear like so.. Waffles

I'm sorry I'm still really confused. I wish you could just highlight the link and change it to what you want it to say. If you have to change a bunch of links it would be a pain in the ass trying to copy code. I downloaded this add on "Colt" for Fire Fox that sounded like it would do this, but it doesn't seem to be working.

--- you type in : Waffles
--- make sure to select the word Waffles
--- choose the hyperlink button in your message box



--- and then paste the waffles review link/ url in that box there



--- hit ok

Thank you very much!!!! That was simple. One more thing, the links keep getting underlined. I tried highlighting it and hitting the underline button to see if it would undo it, but that didn't work. Thanks again:)

Hyperlinks are underlined by default to draw attention to the fact that they are clickable. There isn't anything in the "push button" interface (that I know of) that is going to remove hyperlink underlines. That is an esoteric request.

It is possible to remove hyperlink underlining with style sheets, no-decoration tags, etc. But AFAIK, you would have to do it manually similar to the example of mine above that you found confusing. So for practical purposes you may find that the underlining cannot be removed. Certainly the underline button won't do this for you. .HTH
