URL in Forum Responses

Pete Randall — Mon, 06 May 2002 15:36:07 GMT

Hi,

I've noticed that when people use a URL in a responding to a question, the URL is "clickable" (I'm sure there's a better term but what I mean is that clicking on it take you to the link). How do you make it clickable?

Thanks,
Pete

Best Regards,

Hi,

and make certain you have SPACES around it (on both ends)!
As an example:

without (http://www.ctc.de)

with ( http://www.ctc.de )

See the difference?

Just my $0.02,
Wodisch

Actually, Wodisch, if you'll look at your own post, it works either way, but thanks.
