Default How do you make a link without showing the url?

How do you make a link that doesn't show the full url address of the website?

For example: if i want to make a link to "things to do before storing your vehicle" and I cut and paste the url
https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-maintenance-repairs/416584-things-do-before-storing-your-vehicle.html

How can I make the words "storage tips" go to the url above w/o showing the url?

you mean like this:


Storage Tips

Is that what you mean?


If so, its pretty simple. Just do this:

[u r l =website_address]text you wish to display[/ u r l ]

Now just take away the spaces in the url tags and instead of website_address obviously place the the link you want. You should be good to go.

or type the text out then highlight it in the full reply screen (not quick reply) then click the url button and enter the link there.
