Link in Forum Description
How, if it is possible, do you place a clickable link into a Forum description - tried http and <url> but no joy.

Maybe the forum description is not parsed by the template parser, so you can not place template tags into it. It seems, this is more like a HTML problem, not forum problem.

You may use normal html urls in description, like:
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/">Site Title</a>

By the way: if you use tags the correct format is: <%url%> and not <url>.

I hope one of the above will help you.

Sadly neither works <a href ..... ></a> or the <%url%> have to go back to the drawing board and think of something else. It's a closed forum and I want to put a link to a speed test that's only available to members of that forum.

Many thanks

Hi François,

The forum description one was very easy to do in the code, so I quickly added it in, however the category description is not so easy a change. However, it is still very easy to do - simply change the tag in category_list.html from <%cat_desc%> to <%unescape_html cat_desc%>
