Hello folks, im going to tell you all how to make your picture double as a link!

First, we're going to need to get a picture. Ill use this pic of Kopaka as an example.
the image location is this:

CODE

http://www.bzpower.com/ref/gg/img/kopaka.jpg

to get the location of an image, right click on it, then click properties. the adress that comes up is the image adress, you'll need to copy that adress and keep it on a document for later

Second, we're going to need to get a page that we want our picture to link to. Ill use Kopaka's BZPage as an example. Kopaka's BZPage
the URL location is this

CODE

http://www.bzpower.com/ref.php?ID=438

to get the location of a URL, go to the page you want and look in the Adress bar. Copy that address and keep it on a document for later

Third, you need to go to the post or your signiture, depending on where you want the object/link to go. lets use a post for an example. Go to your post, and click on the "http://" button. when the Script Prompt (the popup) comes up, go to the document with the 2 adresses, and copy the one with the page that you want to be linked to, in this case, http://www.bzpower.com/ref.php?ID=438. Then, when you are supposed to put in the name of the website, type in #### and push enter. When it comes up, it should look like this:

CODE

[URL=http://www.bzpower.com/ref.php?ID=438]####[/URL]

Then, go to the button that says "IMG" and click on it. when you are told to put in the URL of the picture, put in the Adress of the picture, in this case, http://www.bzpower.com/ref/gg/img/kopaka.jpg It should look like this now:

CODE

[URL=http://www.bzpower.com/ref.php?ID=438]####[/URL][IMG]http://www.bzpower.com/ref/gg/img/kopaka.jpg[/IMG]

Highlight and Cut the

CODE

[IMG]http://www.bzpower.com/ref/gg/img/kopaka.jpg[/IMG]

part and then select, the #### part. Now push paste. If done correctly, it should look like this:

CODE

[URL=http://www.bzpower.com/ref.php?ID=438][img]http://www.bzpower.com/ref/gg/img/kopaka.jpg[/img][/url]

and when posted, would look like this:

click on the picture, and you'll go to Kopaka's BZPage

you are now finished! you can now go on to using your own pictures, your own pages, and anything you desire.

If you need more help, feel free to ask.

If you find this topic helpful, dont be shy and tell me.

Thanks! Now I will be able to do that. Thanks for explaining it in human words instead of in computer language, such as:1010101010000111100101010100101010101010010100111100001010100101010010

That's how you do that. It might come in handy someday.
If I remember it.

Thanks for posting this, SkiBiker. But i think this would go in New Member Q+A.
BTW, do you know how to post a picture to a link with words? like there's a picture, and next to it are words. then when you put your curser over the picture, it's just like putting it over the words.
Just like "The Fair and The Company" article. when you put the curser over the picture, it hilites the words also.

thanks.

BTW: don't direct link from BZP. ;-)

This is a cool thing to do. Thanks for teaching us.

But it seems like alot to do for something in one post

Well, I use a diffrent way... but this is useful when TUBQ comes back.

Closing Revival. Let's not start THIS again.
