There is a button above the quick or advanced reply box with a globe and chainlink(its right next to the letter A for text color), click that, insert link web address

(URL="http://google.com")http://google.com(/URL)

If you replace the ( and ) with [ and ] you get this:

http://google.com

Heh.


Just type the link in... for instance: www.icmag.com

Then you can highlight what you just typed by clicking the mouse and dragging over it. Then you can go up to the little Earth with a chain-link icon (right above where I'm typing at the moment) and it will open a box for you to put the url in. It will then convert anything you have selected into a link with that address.

So you could type in "poop" and then highlight it and click that button and make it a link.

Like this:

Poop

my guess is the problem is the ... part. What you want to do is go to the actual site in the link. Open that in a separate window. Up at the top of your browser, copy and paste the full URL that is in your address bar. Use THAT for the URL in your link.

Try that and see if it works.
