Posting Links in Messages

I'm a photograper and I'm always posting web links to people to see their pictures; often they reply that the link doesn't work. I've found out that many of the links are being cut off in their email software because the URLs are so long. Is there a way I can post the title to a link (or something like 'Click Here') with the actual link hidden in some html? How do I do that? I looked at Mail Help and there's no mention of it.
Thanks.

I don't believe the following is supported with Jaguar or Panther Mail but it is supported with Tiger Mail.
To insert a link in an email with Mac OS X Mail:
Make sure the message you are composing uses rich text.
* Highlight the part you want to turn into a link.
* Ctrl-click on the highlighted text.
* Select Edit Link... from the menu.
* Type or paste the address (URL) of the page you want the link to point at.
* Click OK.

  • Preferred way to link to other forum posts in your message?

    Hi,
    Every once in a while I come across forum posts that have links to
    other posts in them.  However, sometimes I cannot follow the link
    and get back to the message that the poster is referring to.  Is
    there a standard way to link to forum posts?
    For example, take the following thread:
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=4386&query.id=0
    The second message in this thread lists a URL that starts with
    exchange.ni.com, and this just goes to a generic error message. 
    The poster does not give enough information for me to find the message
    using an advanced search.
    Are there any standard procedures for linking to other NI discussion forum messages for new posts?
    --Peter

    This is due to changes which were made to NI's site (and probably the database) that make old links obselete. Most people just use the method you did and hopefully these links will be kept up-to-date.
    In this case, if you post a new message in that thread, I'm sure Ray will be happy to help you.

  • New Post Link Missing

    I am signed in in the HP Support Forum.
    I added the forum as a trusted site in my IE 8
    I need to post a question about Solution Center and my HP Scanner 5590.
    The Help systems says to click on the "New Post" Link near the top of the list.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=solution+center does not contain the mentioned link, nor does http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message.
    If I search for "New Post" in the page I get only one match and it is the link for private messages, not for public posts.
    What can I do?
    This question was solved.

    Hi SergioTorresC,
    The links you have given are to results pages for searches.  To make a new post, simply click "Home" at the top left of any forum page.  From this page, select the most appropriate location (forum) to post your issue.  For example, if your issue is with a Laptop, you want to look in the "Notebook Computers (Laptops)" section for the most appropriate forum, then click the link to enter it.
    The new post link will appear at the top left of each of these forum pages once selected.
    Be sure to check out this great guide by Daniel_Potyrala for step-by-step information, too!
    Clicking the "Kudos star" to the left is a great way to say thanks!

  • HU items' material posting is inconsistent (Message no. HUGENERAL327)

    Hi,
    I am trying to pack a material in an Outbound Delivery (OBDLV),  into a container (Packing Material) and while trying to Post GI (PGI), system is throwing the error message:
    HU items' material posting is inconsistent (Message no. HUGENERAL327).
    In Details of the message it is as below:
    Diagnosis
    Handling unit 2001422 contains more than one item. The goods movement posts the items to storage locations with different HU-management strategies. The stock contained in one handling unit can be located either only in HU-managed storage locations or only in non-HU storage locations.
    Procedure
    You have the following options:
    Post all items to an HU-managed storage location
    Post all items to a non-HU storage location
    Repack the items in different handling units so that items that are to be posted to the same type of storage location are packed together.
    I am not sure what in configuration is missing opr what master data is not set up correctly.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Kalyan

    Hi,
    different cases can cause the error message hugeneral327. In most cases this error message is shown  when stock determination is used together with handling unit management. This is not supported in standard.                                                                               
    Please check the attached notes 550289, 605629 and 952440, where it is described, that handling unit management and stock determination does not work together.          
    Regards,

  • Mac mini Core Duo as HTPC...please post links.

    Pretty self explanatory.
    Thanks in advance,
    SX

    My apologies for not being clear, I guess. I simply wanted people to post links that expand on this issue, as well as any other relevant info.
    -If you use your mini as a Home Theatre PC (HTPC), then please discuss which components you have.
    -If you have articles about using the mini as a HTPC, then please post any links.
    -If you are an audio/visual expert that can write a few words of advice for a novice like me, then please post your thoughts.
    -Ya feel me now?

  • Broken link error message

    I get an error message whenever I click "help with this widget."  It tells me that the link (to Adobe help??) is broken and that I must send an email.  But it doesn't tell me where to send the email, or to whom.  I desperately need help with this widget and am frustrated by the broken link.

  • Best way to add new post link

    What would be the best way to add a "new post" link on the main homepage that links to the appropriate blog page. Ideally, I'd like to put a small photo too.
    Is the only way to manually add it every time I update, or is there a better way?
    Thanks, Jill

    You can do it any number of ways. Link a shape, link text, or link a photo to the appropriate blog page, using the Inspector from the tool bar at the bottom of the iWeb window.
    You are correct that the only way is to manually update each time. I don't know of any method to get the blog entries to auto update an indicator on the Home page in iWeb.
    I have a site for a current project I'm on that has a "Shot of the Day" link on the Home page. As the site has gotten large, I have a duplicate of the Domain file for this site that contains nothing but this Home page. I update the page and then simply swap out the files on the server with the updated ones. Makes opening, editing, and saving the changes faster and easier than publishing the entire site each time. Here's an example of how I placed the link on the Home page...

  • I get a "locate link browser" message after updating Avast

    Firefox is my browser of choice. I recently updated my Avast! antivirus. In the process, it automatically installed Google Chrome. I promptly uninstalled Chrome. Since then, from Outlook 2003, clicking on a link results in a "locate link browser" message and Firefox does not open. In Windows XP, I have gone into folder options, file types and there is no URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol. Neither can I add it because it is not in the drop-down list. I run regedit to try to delete four files called for in various help sites, but none of them are there. What can I do now without setting Internet Explorer as my default browser?

    Try to undo and redo Firefox as the default browser.
    Make another browser like IE the default browser and then let Firefox do it again.

  • Can't open file:///-Links in Messages or Mail (Adium is working)

    In 10.9 opening of file:///-Links was no problem with PathFinder. After upgrading I can't open file:///-Links in Messages or Mail. Only Adium is still working. What can I do to enable it again? Or did Apple stopped supporting the file:///-Protocol? Best regards Michael

  • Dynamic link error message again?

    Hi
    I am running Bridge CS6, somethimes with photoshop CS6.
    I am running mac OSX.6.8 (snow leopard).
    mac book pro
    I am getting the dynamic link error message again after not having the problem since CS6beta. It sometimes is only with mov or other movie files but sometimes it is with all.  It is also very slow and sluggish in general.
    When I click on a video files Bridge spins the wheel for a whlie and then gives me the below error message
    (in case the screen shot does not load)
    The error message reads
    "dynamiclinkserver has encountered an error"
    and then it reads off a file thread. and then I must click to continue
    I click to contiue. the message comes back. I click once more and the file then presents. I click to play the vid. the error message again comes back. And I must repeat the clicking twice. I have reset the preferences and purged the cashe. I have installed the patch I found in the forum too. thanks for any help you can render, Uhane

    Yes I did that while talking to tech support on the phone. They had given up and refered me to an upper tech support staff who was supposed to call me back but never did. Where is a link to this udate? It did not show up when I ran the updater.?!  As for permission listed as a culprit on the other thread you link to I have no such firewall or other software running. All the permissions have been set to my admin accnt which is the one and only accnt on this machine. I had NO problem since the beta version and then all of sudden it started again with the dynamic link fail with somoe files types in the last day or so. As for the other problems ... I honestly don't have a clue but assume they are all related to a single cause as they all showed up at the same time. I will reset once more. All start up scripts are checked. always have been. Can you tell me more about this update?? Is there a link? I will go fish...thanks for your help

  • IPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. I want this stopped

    My granddaughters iPods and my iPhone have linked text messages.  How do I stop this?

    If they have the same Apple ID, that is why it is happening. If the phone is using the phone number, remove the Apple ID from the Send & Receive section on the phone. That way it is only using the phone number. Then check the iPod and you can remove the phone number from that list of Send & Receive as well, so it is only using the Apple ID.
