TESSL - Tech's Exciting Simple System for Links

126 replies

Tech · 23/05/2007 16:59

Sometimes people ask: "What on earth were you thinking of, making it so complicated to insert a link into a post?" I usually answer, "I dunno really, I must be a bit thick."

To rectify this sad state of affairs, we've added a new way to insert a simple links to another website (or other bits of mn of course). To do so, just type the full address inside and . So to link to our lovely home page you would type www.mumsnet.com without the spaces, and it would come up as www.mumsnet.com.

The old complicated way still works if you want to display text other than the link itself....

We'll update the Links guide to the right of the message box to reflect this.

Regards,
Tech

I know, I can't get out of the habit though. I'm just that bit too old to be comfortable not signing off..... dunno why though cos have been using online conferencing since 1990. Anyone else remember COSY, (c) University of Guelph? wanders off.....

I'm too scared to click on any of those links (I don't trust ANY of you and don't fancy the police knocking on my door... especially 'land of leather, that could be anything and I don't want DH getting excited)

And I know sometimes doesn't really have an apostrophe in it. I don't know why I did that. In fact I might use my special powers to make it go away.....
