when poating you'll see a toolbar above the whitespace - one of the buttons there is "URL". Click that then add/paste your link between the two sets of brackets.

While we are on this subject could someone please tell me how, when you are posting a link, you can hide it behind something like here. I could never figure that one out and some of those old web addresses can be quite long.

Suppose the website you want to link to is
and you want your link to say "
this exciting hot new site". Then what you want is
Code: Select all
[url=http://www.hotnewsite.com]this exciting hot new site[/url].
The
URL button surrounds your URL with "url" tags. You need to move your URL into the first tag (as "url=...") and then put your text between the tags.
