Wash the Gray Right Out of your Links!
Posted 02-19-2009 at 02:11 AM by 6string
All or most of us have Links to our trade thread
or PM me Links in our sigs.
If we write a Tutorial or other things in the forum,
we will link to those other threads.
In our Trade thread we have links
to the offers pages of the sites we wish to refer traders to.
Why do a lot of our links come out Gray,
Example; FLR Home Page Link,
instead of the color we picked for the text?
Example; FLR Home Page Link
Here is the How to not have gray Links &
if you have them how to fix them.
If you want your links to have a color;
1. Highlight The text you want as your link only!
( Even if the whole line of text is already the color you want.)
2. Chose Color of text link.
3. Then Add the URL link.
Here's Why!
If The color code are outside of the URL link code,
as shown below you will have gray or uncolored text
like this FLR Home Page Link,
[color=Blue][url="http://www.freelunchroom.com/board/"] Home Page Link[/url][/color]
The correct code to have your link colored is like this
with the color code adjacent to the text you want
in color like this FLR Home Page Link;
[url="http://www.freelunchroom.com/board/"][color=Blue] Home Page Link[/color][/url]
Here is the How Fix the gray Links if you already have them.
1.Click edit on your Post or sig.
2. Switch editor mode.
The location is in the top right corner of the Edit Box as shown here;
3. Find the text ONLY to the link you want to have in color
and highlight the text only!
4.Click on the drop down color menu then,
chose & click the color you want.
The color code will now be inside of the Url code.
5. Switch mode back and hit preview post
to check if there are any other problems then submit
if you are happy with your work.
I hope this helps to brighten up
your threads & sigs here at FLR!
