How 2 URL

Post by cheekimonk » Tue Dec 14, 2021 5:19 am

I've had a few people ask how I get a player's name as a link rather than the full link (after which you would typically enter the player's name).

In the image below I open the bracket and paste in the URL. It looks the same whether I use the URL tooltip or type it in:

which translates to...

Just drop in an equal sign and the link "Name you want displayed"

Image

And we get...

I haven't seen this as an issue anywhere but for whoever had trouble with this, it's in this article: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3

The whole FAQ forum is FULL of good stuff for everyone, especially new GMs.

You need to put the url= then the link, close the bracket ] then the players name and finally the /url in square brackets

The /url in brackets has to go at the end after the players name
