can I make a picture link to forum page? please.
I have made large notices for each forum, some of my old ladies were having problems. It would be brilliant if I could make them clickable to take you into that forum, the same way the writing does.
Is this possible? if so can you show me the codes and explain very simply how I can do it. You would be helping hugely if you could.
Thanks Oh this is what it looks like.

Yes this is possible. Find the URL of the forum you wish to link to first and copy it.

Then go to your Forum settings via the Admin Panel. Click on Management then find the forum and click on the button next to it. Scroll down to the Description box. Be sure to have HTML enabled here. Copy the following code into the box.

Code:

<url=URL of the Forum here><img>Link of the Image here</img></url>

That should work.

actually in html it isnt <url
its <a href="www.google.se"> like that

and its <img src="www.google.se/pic32.jpg">
like that its not <img> either

You don't need the quote marks or the 'special' codes. I tried my way before and it all worked absolutely fine.

thats not html .. <img> dosent exist in html they must've added it to forum if it works

It does work. Heres an example of my avatar taking the clicker to my forum.

Code:

<url=http://mediamania.forumotion.com><img>http://help.forumotion.com/users/19/22/63/avatars/14123-50.png</img></url>

thanks Guys, will try that scamite.
will have a play around tis evening

PS new user name is a lot quicker to type I like it

Yeah. I wanted it changed so it matches my forum account name. Good Luck with the images, and if they don't work, just PM me.

I must be doing something wrong. I cant make it work

Scamite, support questions are not to be answered via PM!

todbear, copy and paste the following code into your forum description and customize the red marked parts:

<a href="TARGET LINK"><img src="IMAGE LINK" /></a>

To get the target link, click on the appropriate forum title on your forum and select "copy link adress". The image link is the direct link to your image.

In case you see a red HTML icon above the forum description edit box, click once on it first so it turns into a green one before you paste the code above.

Thanks Sunny D
I shall create an extra forum at thebottom of my home page to practice on
so I cant mess up anything important.
Thanks loads


I just had to come back and edit. I did what you said SunnyD and it worked like a dream

You are welcome! I can just recommend such a test area, I have a whole testforum myself.

I will mark the topic solved and close it.
