Replace the following with [ and ] for every ( and ).

You have to use HTML:

[a href="linkhere"]texthere[/a]

With <>'s instead of []'s.


No. There is BB Code, and it was already provided, though you might have been ninja'd based on the post times.

You have ( and ) instead of [ and ] and you have two http:// at the start.

This is how you make a link:
Put word(s) here
For example:
Someone

Ok, just ignore the guide, that's a more tedious way.

1) Copy the URL you want to link to.
2) Type the word you want to act as the link. I.e the one you want to turn blue.
3) Highlight it.
4) Click link.
5)When the box appears, paste the URL in.

Done.

If you select the whole post and make it a link, that's considered impersonating a moderator and will likely result in a ban.

I'm going to put it in parts...

*what you want it to say*

Just a way to put pics on forums and comment

1) Copy the URL you want to link to.
2) Type the word you want to act as the link. I.e the one you want to turn blue.
3) Highlight it.
4) Click link.
5)When the box appears, paste the URL in.

Done.


I've always hated how the tag buttons work for link/image.
