Buffistas Building a Better Board
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
When we hit 500, we should have a party.
We said that at 400..
I have a question to the HTML-savvy, and I'm guessing this is where I should put it (and please let me know where to transfer it if not):
I was trying to link to a post on this board, and to white-font it. I copied the link of the post, and put it between <font color="white"> and </font> but it didn't create a link, only wrote the letters of the link. Like this:
When I tried to make it into a 'nice' link, using href (<a href="http://www.buffistas.org/showthread.php?thread_id=43&post_id=5235" target="_blank">blahblah</a>) inside the whitefont, it created the link, only it was visible - not whitefonted. Like this:
So, oh, wise Buffistas who have a vast hivemind that contains answers to all questions, including the questions themselves, what was I doing wrong this time?
Try putting the font tags inside the "nice" link like so: blahblah. t edit Hey it worked!
Oooh, secret links. Me likey!
Jon to the rescue, as is his way. Thanks!
[Edit: and ita, too, of course]
The way is <a href="http://www.buffistas.org/showthread.php?thread_id=43&post_id=5235" target="_blank"><font color="white">blahblah</font></a> since otherwise the formatting of the t a will override the t font .

Um...once in awhile when I refresh, I get a bunch of HTML code and then the message center. Not sure if this is me or the board, but it has been doing it at home, too.
