Thread Name: BS: Mudcat ~~ why all the HTML required for links?
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat ~~ why all the bullshit?
Michael, regarding the vanishing text issue-
It's the back and forth business that creates the frustrating problem to which you allude. Try opening 3 separate tabs or windows: one for Mudcat, click on the the Make a Link to bring it up a 2nd window, and the third tab or window should contain the other site to which you wish to link.
You can copy the link in your informational site, then go over to the "Make a Link" window and paste it in there, and click "Create Link".
Your newly coded link info will appear. Copy/Paste that code into the Mudcat message posting window and Bob's your uncle. It can be helpful to use the "Test the link" and "Preview" options.
As for the whys and wherefores of Mudcat; it belongs to Max who can do as he pleases. He's updated several functions recently, and has made it clear he is interested in continued development within his vision for Mudcat. Suggestions for his consideration can be posted in this thread.
If my suggestion above isn't helpful, do please send me a PM and I'll try to help further.
