I am in trouble , in a lot of topics I typed a link lead to another site with the right format but when I click on the , it change to a blank page , what 's wrong ? If I just put the mouse over the word I linked , it says at the bottom left of Internet Explorer http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and then I click it , a blank white page showed up. What should I do now. I putted a Link in the NEWS but it goes to the same problem. Thank you very much.

So you are having web page problem links, because yo are using BBCode, not HTML!

 

HTML Links

<a href="yourlinkhere.com/forums">Click here ot visit my forums</a>
<a href="yourlinkhere.com/forums"><img src="link_image.png"></a></a>

 

Hopefully that helps.

Sorry , but I don't know how to use the code. I tried to put a full Link instead of using BB Code like this :

 

https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl

 

But then the link disappeared by itself. What should I do now , here is my forum URL :

 

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

Thank you very much.

 

EDIT : I tried to use your code but only the News Box is back to normal , what should I do now ?

Please use the following general guide line when posting for help:

1) name the topic title specific to your situation
2) identify what forum script you're using
3) identify what is that you exactly wanted to accomplish by giving detailed example

You should have mentioned that you are using Simple Machines Forum. SMF behaves differently than Invision Power Board. To insert URL for your page/forum is to just post
 

https://forums.xisto.com/

and it will appear as link. If it does not you can enter it as

[URL]https://forums.xisto.com/[/url]

Notice that [url=] is not used because URL= is IPB bbcode and not SMF bbcode.

IPB allows

[URL=http://full link]Optional Text[/URL]

very similar to HTML code

<a href="http://full link">Optional Text</a>

but SMF cannot, thus SMF is free.

Thank you but is there any way to link a word to another web site (Like using url= ) except using Html code because I tried but it didn't help ?

That is something I have not found out. Although I use SMF myself for another site I never needed it since it's mainly for financial and stock discussions--not many people are linking to outside of my forum.

 

Try looking through SMF's website and see if there is/are modified bbcodes released recently. SMF's official site is http://www.simplemachines.org/
