I thought html is not allowed?, why do I see other people's about section have a link, How do I make a link in my about?

It is not html, but bcc, like the forums.
[url= url] text [/url ]

Yes let me do that. I found it confusing.

[URL=put your link here]TEXT HERE[/URL]

But the URL's are lowercase url.

[url= http://armorgames.com/community/]Community[ /url] without the spaces, for example.

But both me and juan are just repeating the answer... If you're having trouble getting it to work, you can just ask one of us on our profiles, I'm sure we'd both gladly help you.

P.S. Next time you have a question like this, try asking one of the users with those links before making a thread, or make the thread in the Newcomers section. The first can give you a faster reply, and the second is where these kind of questions belong.

That's good.
I guess it means we can lock this one up?

Btw, I'm confused as to why my link up there appears to be working - oh the mysteries of BBcode~

It's to do with an auto-linking script when it reads the "http" part, I think...but I'm not entirely sure on that.

Perhaps this is the question that should be answered now!

Well I have never heard of bcc code,but AG uses BB code.It stands for Bulletin Board code.I think this has been answered enough though.Also if you have anymore questions about BB code in the forums then try using this guide.

If that was directed at me, well... I know how to link properly, I just added spaces to demonstrate the BBcode.

I am confused! When parts of the link works... But it's not just the http, it just... Occurs. Anyone know?

@crimsonblade:
I'm pretty sure Cenere just made a typo.
