XF 2.2 How to reduce link size in notice

[Alvin63]

I have a notice with a link to the relevant thread (running for a time period - competition). Found this code on here for how to add a link to the notice.

<a href="http://www.link.com/">text here</a>

Which works fine - but the link is very long. Is there anyway of changing it to a short link like "click here" like you can on a forum post please?

Also - although the link is clickable, bizarrely it takes me to a Sedo domains home page and not to the forum thread it states it is!

The syntax you have posted is correct for a named link: <a href="url">text</a> .

although the link is clickable, bizarrely it takes me to a Sedo domains home page and not to the forum thread it states it is!

Most likely the URL is incorrect or it is being rewritten somewhere.

Oh yeah dur. I left the url as link.com. So I replace that link.com with the forum link and then put "Click here" where it says "text here". Sorted! thanks.
