Links Not Linking In The Shout-Out Box

Recommended Posts

Guest K***e D****ls

Hi everyone,

 

Technology isn't my strong point so bear with me. When I was on the old board cerb, my links in the shout out box were always underlined and automatically linked. Now on lyla (I've been back for 2 days), you'd have to manually copy and paste them to get to the link. My posts don't exceed the alloted characters for the shout out box. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks for the help! :)

I just checked your shout posts and I believe it's not working because you're copying and pasting the https version of the link, which I am sure you are not doing intentionally. Try removing the s and just post the http://www.lyla.com/blahblahwhatever. Or just http://www.lyla.com/blahblahwhatever

 

It only automatically creates a clickable link when it detects http:// or just www.

 

Should work then :)

Thank you Emily. :) I just tried the http version and no link. I'll try the www only version later on when I'm not in the shoutout box anymore. I appreciate the suggestions!

It didn't work because you had 1-2-3... attached to it without a space and it didn't understand the link. You can have words before the link, but there need to be a space before the start of the link.

 

You had:

 

1-2-3...http://http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=204290

 

If you write:

 

1-2-3... http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=204290 it will work. :)

 

Also, you can edit your shout posts after you post them. Click the little yellow box to the left of your name beside your shout post and it will open a larger version of the shout box. Then, find your shout post and there is an "edit" button on the right side.

A fountain of information you are, Emily! Thank you so much. I appreciate the help.
