I posted a recommendation for Etang de la Breche but it has disappeared. I put the website address on and for some reason UKCS does not seem to like it and hence the post has gone. Thats probably why Jusy in the last post simply referred to the site without any details because he/she obviously read my post before it was deleted by webmaster or whoever. I do find this annoying and quite frankly childish on the part of UKCS. What is wrong with people saying check out a campsite website and telling someone the name of the website for heavens sake?

If you find the site, on another tab or another open window, on the campsite search, then go to the review page for that site, then copy the URL.  Type in the name of the site in your post, and highlight it, then using the link icon above, bring up the dialogue box, and paste your URL address into the top section of the box and it will appear as a named link - Etang de la Breche.  It means people reading the post can see the name of the site, but they are directed via the Reviews page, where the site website link is given anyway - and they can then go to look at the website if they still fancy it after reading the reviews.

It's just a way of trying to ensure that people write reviews, and that others are then able to see them.  I try to do it, but admit that sometimes I forget and just type in the site name, and sometimes (if the site isn't listed here then I provide a direct link).

I think, perhaps, the moderators/webmaster ought to publish a 'How to attach a link to text in your post' - not everyone knows, although most people (though not all) can copy and paste a website address directly into a post.  It always looks nicer if the site is actually named and the link hidden 'behind' the text.

I agree, with Floydfan, though, this site is the best there is for information/reviews/and just general friendliness!

Camping Etang de la Breche Thank you Val I hopefully have just managed my first hyperlink thanks to your instructions.

I agree that it would be good to have something from Webmaster as I tried a search for hyperlink but didn't find anything.

Well done.  I'm glad my limited instructioned helped.  I thought it was a major discovery when I first learned how it was done!  I always think Etang de la Breche looks better than http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=5243 - and does tell people the site name.

Thanks Ratty/Ian for your replies, too, which I'm sure will lead to many more people being able to create their own links.
