Posting Question Using Box.net

Post by Brazenkane »

I've noticed that some people links via URL and other's by tune title. How do you do it by title? The support at box.net was useless.

Linking by title has nothing to do with Box.net per se. It's a Chiffboard feature.

This:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.box.net/shared/zi12xga6mq]Telemann Sonata[/url]
gives this:

Dr. Mierzwiak: Well, technically speaking, the procedure is brain damage.

Not sure I understand. The link you just posted works fine.

If you want a text link, it has to look like the code I posted above.

1. Type whatever text you want to use for your link.
2. Highlight the text, then click the URL button below the Subject field.
- or -
2. Type and tags around the text link.
3. In the first tag, after url, type an equals sign followed by the box.net url you want to point to.

Again,

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.box.net/shared/b0n4q48m0s]My Fancy Text Link[/url]
produces
