How do I Change a link name?

I've notice that often people change the link name when they embed it into some text so that the link will say whatever they want and yet it still directs to the right site. How do I do that? Like if I said "hey, check out "this" site" and the word "this" is the link.

The button the use to do it is Gone. So I guess you would have to know the Coding to do it know.

No it's not. It's the green globe with the chain link on the bottom right of it.

The syntax is [ url = www.yoursite.com ]what you want the link called goes here[ / url ]

Remove the spaces between the brackets.

The process changed a little bit. It use to give you a second box to type the label

Crap, I still don't get it. When I click on the globe I just get a box that pops up and puts in the same as if I had just done a copy paste.

I'm not sure if this method works but give it a try.
1.- Paste the link in the text box.
2.- Select the whole link in blue.
3.- While the link is selected in blue, overwrite the link text with whatever you want it to say.
It's worked for me in the past.

That didn't work either, it just makes a link to nowhere.

Your link does not work cause the address it points to is wrong I think.

CZ USA

Edit: I just tried again and that still doesn't do anything. I copied in a working link for CZ and then highlighted, and overwrote "CZ USA" It just created a link to MCADX that doesn't work.

I could probably teach you a lot of medical related stuff but brain surgery is not one of them. I've watched brain surgery a couple times and it's well beyond me at this point.
