I've got another REALLY stupid question: How does one "label" a link (instead of it's just appearing in "http://..." format)?
In physics forums, or in normal HTML?

IN physics forums, use the button above. First box comes up and asks u for the label, second box comes up and asks you for the URL.



IN HTML: <A http://www.whatever.com>THIS IS YOUR LABEL</A>

Whatever appears between the <A> and the </A> is the label, while u write the address inside the brackets of the first <A>

That link labelling you are showing is (possibly?) missing the quotation marks that are needed...

IN HTML: <A http://www.whatever.com>THIS IS YOUR LABEL</A> (yours)

needs...

IN HTML: <A="http://www.whatever.com">THIS IS YOUR LABEL</A> and perhaps the ='s sign too?

CWOT = Completely With Out Travel

FTF = ?

Got another stupid question for you guys. What does "SWAG" mean?

People constantly say "here's my SWAG on that", and I don't get it.
