Title: Links to images
Post by: jcarter on April 26, 2003, 03:51:00 PM

When I link to an image, I usually just paste it in like this for example, http://www.pbase.com/image/15472354
But if I wanted to link and just use a word or phrase like MyGrandson or whatever, so when someone just clicked on the phrase, the link would work.  I looked at the UBB code, but couldn't figure how to just have the phrase and not the whole URL.  Could I use this like HTML?
<a href="http://www.pbase.com/image/15472354">MyGrandson</a>  Is it better to have it open in a new page?  I like that better.  
On the Elements of Photoshop forum, I would like to be able to do the same thing.
Thanks, I am learning!  I visit Techsurvivors every day and learn something valuable.

To create an external link on a UBB board or most other boards:

code:

---

Image Name

---

Using your link:

code:

---

My Grandson

---

and the link itself:

My Grandson

Enjoy!

Hi KPS  
Euhm, i got a little confused here...
As for the url, that's how i do it, but to post an image, i always use the IMG tags:
 

code:

Never thought it would work with the url to?

Oooh wait... using the url code might bring up the image in another window?
Using the img code... makes the image apear in the TS topic...i guess that's it?

Hi Mrious_be,

You "got it", jcarter wanted an external link, which by default appears in a new browser window.
