The Dink Network

Hi, does anyone know how to make a link act as a link in this forum? As example

http://www.dinknetwork.com/forum.cgi?MID=57900

does not appear as link although I have seen such links in this forum.

You may use a limited amount of HTML tags on the Dink Network forums; among them is the 'a href' tag.

In case you don't know, submitting:

<a href="/forum.cgi?MID=57900">Look, it's my link!</a>

will show

Look, it's my link!

Should you have any other inquiries about the forum or forum rules, read the Rules page, which succeeds in not standing out on the left sidebar and may not even be mentioned at all upon account creation (not sure about that).

Test: test

Edit: well, [ URL ] and [/ URL] work too

Oops, how does this work? I tried it in a thread, but first it deleted the message (yes, it did!) and then it simply shows as you see here:

[URL] rpmseek.com [/URL]

<URL> rpmseek.com </URL>

It works basically the same way as the a href method mentioned above (though it differs from one lovely internet forum to the next, yes), except that the "a href" and the "/a" are replaced by "url" and "/url" respectively, and the <> symbols would be substituted with []. You may not have to put the URL in quotation marks, either.. I'm not sure.

And additionally, you should use http:// in front of any address.

I have it now, but I think there is no sence in using this command, as it is not shorter and the board-system replaces it automatically with the "<a href=... " command.

The URL method dont work for me

You do know that it is more common to use UBB code than HTML on Internet forums, right? a href= is the HTML code for making a link and [ URL ] is just for forumvisitors who know 0.0 HTML but they can still make a link. It's just that this forums converts UBB to HTML, on forums where you can quote someone else's reply, it shows the UBB code. It's just easier to use for those who just visit the forum and have no knowledge whatsoever of HTML
