How does one make a contract link in local chat to say one thing and be another.

For example: It says Vexor Navy Issue in the chat link but actually links to a regular Vexor contract I've made?

Ah, you're a kind samaritan who wishes to surprise customers with a bonus upgrade to their vexor, giving them a vexor navy issue instead.

I'd be happy to help you with your give-away.

Drag your contract for a vexor navy issue into a local chat, jita perhaps. Do not press enter, not yet. It should say [contract: vexor navy issue] or something. Now click in the chat window and scroll back into the contract using your arrow keys so that you can edit what it says [contract: vexor]. Once you have edited it to your satisfaction you can press enter to display your message to all of the appreciating public in local, I am sure that all the kind citizens will be excited about your deals.

If by some miracle nobody accepts your kind offer, you don't need to repeat the editing process. Simple press ctrl-up in that chat window to repeat the last message you typed into it. Pressing ctrl-up repeatedly will take you further back in time to older messages. Then press enter to once again display your advertisement to the kind locals.

Best of luck with your give-aways.

Thanks.

Yeah. I like to give back to the community that's given me so much. Mostly tears, but those are the best.

It warms my heart to know that there are still honest traders like you in New Eden.
