    Posting links ?

    Is there anyway to post a link directly in the message box without having to use the URL Link button in order to make it a clickable link?

    Example, link posted in message box.

    Example, Link posted using the URL Link Button

    Certainly. This forum (like most all others) uses Java's BBCode. There isn't a simple button in VBulletin, that I know of, but here is how to do it:

    {url=www.somewhere.online} This{/url} will cause the word "This" to be a hyperlink to the website following the "=".

    Just replace all the curly brackets with straight "[" brackets.

    Like this.

    It a simple open and closed URL tag, with the website defined at the open, and whatever text in the middle will be the link.

    Cheers.

      Oh, I answered a different question. It's much easier if you don't want to link a custom word in your post to the URL.

      Just use {url} {/url} and paste the link in the middle. It tells the browsers that the data between the "url /url"is a clickable link. That's all the link url button does, is add those url tags around the hyperlink.

      Be sure to use straight brackets tho. I had to use curly so it wouldn't think I was posting a link!

        I just want to post a link directly in the message box and have it be clickable like on other message boards. Rather than having to enter it in the LINK BUTTON or any other way. We are disabled here.

          Ok, I'll check on that.

            Seems to work OK. This was a copy/paste into the Message Box.

              So, Java is a client side library, and software relies on Javascript running on the end-user's device to parse BBCode and show it in a Rich Text format. If you have blocked some Javascript from running then the editor will not work correctly. I made 2 test posts with URLs pasted into the Message Box (using Safari browser on an iPhone) and URLs parse fine upon posting, and become clickable links as expected.

              Try it again and see how it works. Seems to be OK now:
