- Could we have a button that more easily allows the specification of URL links with text, as in
[ url=http://www.somewhere.com/something.htm]The Something Text[ /url] - Would it be possible to repeat the link to "Mark forms read" which appears on the Board Index page also at the top right of the four sub-pages "View unanswered posts", "View unread posts", "View new posts", and "View active topics"?

Currently the URL button gives:John Gray wrote:....more easily allows the specification of URL links with text....
[url][/url]
and you want it replaced with
[url=][/url]
???
Or are you asking for some two field entry box, into which you type the URL and text and it is automagically coded for you?

The "two field entry box" would make it easier for people not familiar with the two ways of specifying URLs, and this is available on many? most? other BBS systems.Leif wrote:Currently the URL button gives:John Gray wrote:....more easily allows the specification of URL links with text....

Me? I know how to do it either way!
