Dareal1829:Thanks larry, I can never seem to get the links to work here.....
I'll put it here, so everyone can benefit -
To light up a link that you want to appear in your post (http://www.website.com), put "url" tags on either end: {url}http://www.website.com{/url}. (Colors only for emphasis) Note that I used the curvy bracket instead of the [ and ] so you could see where they go. You need to use the square brackets around the tags. Also note that the closing tag includes a slash.
To "hide" a link and turn a word or words into a "hyperlink," you still use the "url" tags, but -
{url=http://www.website.com}word or phrase{/url}.
If you are at all familiar with HTML, forum tags are very similar, only they use [] instead of <>.
