how do you post links

[jman95]

I feel stupid asking this but I cant figure out how to do it in this forum. Im a member of a few different forums and I have no problem posting links on them.

There's a couple of ways to post links.

First, you can just type the link in. As long as it begins with http:// ( <--- See) it should automatically convert to a link when you submit your post.

Second, you can use the BBcode. When you go to enter your post, you'll see some buttons right under the Subject line for bolding, italics, quote, etc...The last one is url. You can use this button to added the url code, or just type it in yourself.

There are 2 different formats for entering a url with BBcode:
I'm going to put some spaces in, just so this doesn't convert to a link when I post, but if you were doing this for real omit all spaces:
Format 1:
[ url ]http ://YourLink.com[ /url ]
This will display "http ://YourLink.com" as a link.

Format 2:
[ url=http ://YourLink.com]Click Here[ /url ]
This will display "Click Here" as a link that will take you to YourLink.com

When you go to create a post, if you look in the lower left under options, there is a BBCode link, which will tell you all of the things you can do with the BBCode.
