Making a forum a link.

[tommykent1210]

I know you can make a forum a link but i can't remember how to do it. I've searched around but can't find the answer. Can anybody help?

I'm trying to make one of my forums point to an external page. For example you click on the forum in the catagory and it takes me to support.orphinia.co.cc

Thanks Tom

I think you can edit links at this website:

I never tried it,btw...

Im sure you can use BB code or HTML though.

Right if you mean,

When you select the forum name it directs you to an extrernal page then yes it can be done easily

1. Navigate to:

Admin Panel\General\Categories and forums

2. Select next to the forum or category you want to link.

3. For the title add the following code changing the website address and title of the link

Code:

<a href="http://www.your.link.here.com/" target="_Blank">name of the link</a>

Its ok,

You don't need to change the "_Blank", This part of the code simply forces the link into another tab
