I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find it anywhere.

How do you post a link to something but change the text to say something else in EB?

I can do it in Word but can't work out how to do it here. I tried cutting and pasting from Word, that didn't work.

When replying, across the top of the reply box are a heap of buttons, include b (bold) i (italics) and so on. Along that row there is a green arrow with a plus sign. That is the hyperlink button. Click on that and a box will pop up. Paste your link in there and press ok. Then type in whatever you want the link to be called and press ok again.
HTH.

It's the little green plus sign in the edit tool bar.

Type the word.

Then highlight the word, and choose the "insert link" icon at the top of the text box....it looks like a green cross. Then paste the URL that you want in there.

So, if you wanted to provide a link to eBay......type eBay, then highlight it, insert the link to eBay which is http://www.ebay.com.au


and you get this....
