So after reading countless posts that attempt to post links by deleted periods, letters, and coming up with a code to allow other readers to follow links, I’ve decided to post some forum coding shorthands and shortcuts so anyone can post a link or give their post some visual POP!
Some of the codes don’t have a tutorial as there was no way of implementing one without activating the code. Just copy and paste the example code or use it as an example. Not all HTML code options are stated here, and if y’all want some more just lemme know. Some of these codes can be stacked, others cancel the coding out. Up to you to experiment and mess around with them to see what works.
Enjoy spicing up your posts!
Post links:
Copy and paste a link, highlight the link and click on the Preformatted Text button on the toolbar above. This also allows users to post code style text without it being shortcutted or shorthanded. Or Type an " ` " accent mark on either side of your link.
