The text issue again
 
This is different than my last text issue because I want to know how to remove text of other zones messing up my map. When you connect the rooms of two different zones, the connected zone is in text somewhere, can I remove that?

When you have a link connect to another zone, it leaves behind a text label of the name of the zone. How can I remove those labels? What else do you require?

Since people seem to like the images. If you see this image and don't see why this label text annoys me... then you probably can't help.

I just want it gone... all of it Crying or Very sad

I don't want it gone. How can you know where that link leads to if it is removed? However, I agree it is annoying the way it covers up the map. If there was a way to color code those zone links and then create a legend on the map showing where each ones leads to. The whole point of a map is to remind me of where I am going and how to get there. If I could remember all the directions, I wouldn't need a map. Very Happy

This place in particular is in the city, and I'm connecting to more zones in the city that would just get messy on the same map, so I know where they go, I really don't need the text. Sometimes I do, but not here.

Sorry that I didn't answer faster. I knew there was a simple way to turn off the labels, but couldn't remember how. Unfortunately, I can't seem to open my map to look for it.

However, I have found it in the web help pages:
Zone Links are like normal links between rooms except that they span zones. By default, zone links are displayed as broken, labeled links, with the name of the destination zone as the link label. To turn off this label, select the Link properties and turn off the Draw Link option.

Thanks. But ewww... whenever I go to change it, if the mud sends me a prompt, it switches to the room I'm in and makes it difficult to do.
