Using Anchors Within Posts

[Ehtyar]

This may end up making me look like a complete dumba$$, but Mouse Man asked me to post this here. So anyway, for those who want to be able to link to a specific section of their post (I will be using this from now on in the Weekly Tech News), you can use the [anchor] and [iurl][/iurl] bbc tags which I've only recently discovered, hence this post.
To add an anchor to your post you place the [anchor] tag somewhere in your document with a unique name e.g.

Code

[anchor=my_unique_name]

Then, when you wish to link to this anchor, you use the [iurl][/iurl] (internal URL) tags to link to the anchor like so:

Code

[iurl=#my_unique_name]go to my anchor[/iurl]

You can try this out by clicking here.

This has been a test of the emergency broadcast..er..anchor system.

Well I'm glad i wasn't the only one who didn't know about this. I guess neither of us have the complete dumba$$ badge nosh

just wanted to point out -
if you link to an anchor in a different post, it wont work in preview mode but will (should!) when you've posted
