Tecchies - Change My Link into a...

[kimmar067]

...'word link'. For lack of a better term, can you change this link [so that it is still a link] with the phrase "Invasion of The Marinos" and make that the link? [kwim]

Let me try something
new link
What I did was (after copying the link), click on the "Link" icon in the toolbar, paste the copied link in the window, then highlight it and change the words. Then click "insert".

On the other hand, it seems that clicking on that "new link" (which was this thread) doesn't work. I guess once you change the gibberish that identifies the link it can't actually connect with it.

Hmmm...it worked OK on the "old boards" doing it that way.

I type the words first, then highlight the word or phrase to turn into a link, and click the "link" button (it looks like 2 links in a chain) and paste the URL in the popup. I don't know how to do it the other way around.
