Please exuse me for asking such a noobish question, as i am slightly computer illiterate.

How does one change the name of a link?

for example, the link to this page is:

http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... html#88590

how do i change the link so that it says "click here" or something like that?

i have tryied so many time but it just doesnt seem to work, propably because i havent figured it out.
"physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential" - not sure, but i like the quote

you know you are not an engineer if you have to remind yourself "left loosy righty tighty"

[a href="whatever the link is"]Click here![/a]
Replace "[" and "]" with "<" and ">".

Since the forum accepts both HTML code, and BBCode, NoName's posted HTML format will work. In fact I generally type HTML instead of BBCode on the forums. Once again, another question that could have been answered if the Spud Wiki had been browsed...
