for images and websites, there are even three ways how to do it :
for example, if you want to link to a picture or the whole album of the crazy doll ( that's me )
<B>with websites</B> like my album ( .htm or .html or .php? ) :
the correct hotmail programming is a Hypertext REFerence ( HREF ) :
Code: Select all
<A HREF="http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/index.php?cat=10049">click here</A>
Code: Select all
[url]http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/index.php?cat=10049[/url]
Code: Select all
http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/index.php?cat=10049
<B>with images</B> ( .jpg .gif and so on )
the correct hotmail programming is an IMaGe SouRCe ( IMG SRC ) :
Code: Select all
<IMG SRC="http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/userpics/10049/thumb_Vanessa_Realdoll_0030.jpg">
Code: Select all
[img]"http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/userpics/10049/thumb_Vanessa_Realdoll_0030.jpg">[/img]
Code: Select all
http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/userpics/10049/thumb_Vanessa_Realdoll_0030.jpg
if you want to combine this to a <B>picture link</B>, insert the picture URL where it says "click here" in first the example above, like
Code: Select all
<A HREF="http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/index.php?cat=10049" TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/userpics/10049/thumb_Vanessa_Realdoll_0030.jpg"></A>
like this :
<A HREF="http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/in ... ?cat=10049" TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/al ... 0.jpg"></A>
[EDIT]
If just giving the URL of a picture or website alone works (neither [img] or <IMG SRC.... in use) seems to depend on the version of forum software in use, right now it doesn't work for me... so better use a correct string version... also, with some versions of forum software, hotmail (html) is only switched on when you are logged in, so best bet would be to use the forum versions [img] and [url]
