How To Link to Sportsterpedia Pages or Images

Occasionally, when searching through the Sportsterpedia, you might find something you would like to share with others.
Some of the pages have so much information that starting from the top and reading to the bottom gets cumbersome.
That's where the page menu comes in handy.

  • Links are really just different web addresses.
  • Each page in the Sportsterpedia has it's own URL (web address).
    • Go to a page in the Sportsterpedia.
    • Copy the URL from the current search box in your web browser.
    • Paste this into the posting text box of the XLF or other email / social media platforms.
  • Each section in the different page menus have their own URL.
    • Most pages in the Sportsterpedia have a navigational menu on the top right of each page.
    • This menu can be used to quickly find sections within a page and bypass information you don't need at the moment.
    • Use the page menu to select a section / heading within it.
    • This menu also assigns a separate URL for each of the items listed in it.
    • Click on a section in the menu and it's address will be in your browser's search box.
    • Copy the URL from the 'current search box' in your web browser.
    • Paste this into the posting text box of the XLF or other email / social media platforms.
  • Internal links in the Sportsterpedia act the same as the menu as mentioned above.
    • Some pages have internal links (these are the blue colored wording you'll see from time to time).
    • Clicking on the words lit up in blue will take you somewhere else in the Sportsterpedia.
      • Each time you do, the 'current address' in the search box of your browser changes.
      • This new address is the web link to where you were taken.
      • Copy the URL from the current search box in your web browser.
      • Paste this into the posting text box of the XLF or other email / social media platforms.
  • Pictures:
    • Links to a page of pictures are done just as described above.
      1. Copy the link from your browser window.
      2. Paste the URL in in your post messages.
    • Display a picture in your XLFORUM posts from the Sportsterpedia.

      3. Click the “Insert Image” icon in the upper 'tools' section of the XLF message box.
      4. Paste the URL of the picture in the pop-up text box.
    • Use the IMG code on either side of the picture URL address: [IMG]Insert Picture URL[/IMG]
      • This simply adds instruction to the forum mechanicals to display the address as an image.
        1. Copy this code:
          [IMG][/IMG]
