Hi Keith,

it took me a while but i got there in the end  lets see if this helps,

 when doing your post first click on rich formatting this brings up the box that you put you post in type in here your posh link

then highlight it then then right click that brings up copy paste ect.. click on copy then at the top of the text box are some icons click on the chain icon that then brings up the url box where it says url link make sure that is cleared and type in your posh link then clear it out of the url link box then type in you web address you wat to use including the http:// before the www.ect... leave anchors and title blank but the target has a pull down box click on the arrow then select open in a new window(blank) then select insert  after inserting press post  should then have linked what you put in the text box to your post im not very good at explaining things but hope you understand what i was trying to say and that it helps let me how you get on

You should frame those instructions!

Tiger and ALICAT.

 I hope you don't mind but i've put the explanation into my Signature box thread, hopefully it well help more people in the future.

A brilliant post ALICAT.

I have certainly got no objection at all doggie  It was supposed to be a throwaway rememark when I said to Alicat  "You can teach everyone else". Not so much of a joke now! :)

On the few forums I vist mainly to do with spiders the bold, italics and underlined  are included on what would be the rich formatting tool bar at the top of the page.

Guess its just another quirk of this LOVELY forum that we use :)

However there are forums where you need to use raw HTML too. I can think of two right away.

I understand a little more HTML (I did say a 'little' more) now but several years ago when I was first faced with having to use code to make hyperlinks (posh links) I found it quite difficult to remember the formula. However after typing it over and over and over again it sunk in. Practice may not always make things perfect but it makes things seem a whole lot easier.

Firefox humbug. For the second time this month Firefox is not working properly. Some pages are displayed as text, others are there but with graphical layout incomplete, such as backgrounds. But the main nuisance is that I cannot reply to the forum, so to write this I am using IE. Windows update downloaded a lot of stuff yesterday, so it may be due to that. Anyone recognise these symptoms? If it is only me, then I suspect 'add-ons' are to blame.

Firefox is a lot better after I disabled all my 'add-ons/extensions' as per the diagnostics below. The conflict was poossibly 'Adblock plus' so I will slowly re-enable them in due course, with the Adblock left to the last.

Firefox Diagnostic.

Thanks  doggie i have no objects to you putting on your thread
