How to create a link (with a name) on Tom's?

This Tutorial addresses:
  • Build
  • Tutorial
  • Display
Note: This is also applicable to posts on the forum, not only in the signature section.

Some members on this forum would like to exhibit their build specifications in their signature. However there is a word limit and we are not able to display every single part on there. One way is to copy and paste the link in our signature. But that isn't an appealing way to present for some professionals out there.

So how do we create a link with a name you want to call it? Here's a short and crisp step-by-step guide to provide an example of how we can do it (with a bit of exaggeration in the link). We will be utilising BBCode to create the final product.


The link I will be using in this tutorial: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KmTm7P
The text or name I will be using in this tutorial: System Build


Note: The bold writing is a must in order for this to work.


Step-by-Step Guide:

1.Type [ and followed by a url= (no spaces in this step)

2. Insert your link and close it with a ] (no spaces in this step)

3. Space once to have it neat and tidy, but it is not needed.

4. Type your text or name after that. (spaces can be used between words)

5. Space once again to have it neat and tidy, but it is not needed.

6. Close it with a [ followed by a /url and finally a ] (no spaces in this step)

7. Save your changes and enjoy!!


Finish Product:
System Build
