Could somebody PLEASE help me?

How, when you post a link, put whatever text you want to? I have seen this before, and it is rather helpful for long URLs. Could somebody tell me how to do this?

First, make sure that you have the 'Format Bar' box checked under options on the left. It makes things much easier. Then when yo want to post a link, click the link button. After you type/past the URL in the box that pops up and click 'OK', you'll end up with something like this in your reply box: [ link=http://theforce.net][/link](minus the space after the [ ). In between the ] and the [/link] is where you enter what you want to call the link such as TFN. You then get TFN. You It doesn't work with really long URLs though for some reason.

Hope that helps.

 

To reiterate what Gangrenous said, simply type the url you want[/i]]then type your linked message, and then close it off with: If I had copied a url into the above link, it would appear like so: then type your linked message, and then close it off with:
