Anyone know of a good program to create links? If you have seen some of mine you will know why I asked!

er.. if you mean just posting a link in a forum that has an ugly address, then thats all done by html. Honestly i dont really know the code for it, but search google for an html cheat sheet and it should have some tags to rename a link that is prettier to read. if im not awnsering your question, act like i was never here

i really think im correct on the html part tho... huh.gif wink.gif

G'day,

the html tags to use are:

<a href="http://www.somewhere.com/">Somewhere</a>

for quick reference to more html tags, google on 'html tags' or go here which has a quick list of common usage -> HTML Tags

Forgot to mention, a lot of forums (this one included) won't let you post html tags as they can be and are security issues, however, they do have built in functions (normally BBCode) which you use within the forums themselves.

To post a link in this forum the tags required are:

['URL=http://www.somewhere_else.com]Somewhere Else[/URL] leaving out the * ' * after the first bracket and before the 'URL', had to place that in or else you wouldn't see the tags.

Even easier is to use the "Add reply" button as opposed to the "Fast Reply" on these forums and click on the 'http://' button. It will prompt you for the URL, which you can easily copy and paste, and then prompt you for a name.

Hope that's all clear as mud now tongue.gif

Cheers

And to add more to what SenutyEnool excellently explained.

Not for posting to forums, but useful on your own.

Automatic redirection to a web-site:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" CONTENT="1;url=http://www.yoursite.com">

</HEAD>
</HTML>

Automatic redirection to an HTML file on your hard disk, CD drive, etc:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

Yes it's only for your own usage on your own disks/discs, doesn't just have to be your hard disk. Nobody else can access it.

I use it for launching programs with help .HTM files that must be ran from the original CD. I also use it with an autorun frontend called CDStarter to load a Winamp generated HTML playlist to see all the music (mp3, mpc, ogg, wv) tracks on a particular CD or DVD.
