Shawn, how do I insert a link in the body of the text? I tried the usual <a href="> and it doesn't work. The URL link above doesn't seem to work for me, the full tag still shows in the message. What am I doing wrong?

[Phi]

Sluggy!

If that worked, you just make the opening tag [*url=theaddress] and then what you want to call it and then the closing [*/url]. Remove the *'s though.

Phi beat me to it.

If you leave your mouse over the buttons about the text box when posting, it comes up with a little explanation on how to use the feature.

[Constance]

Hmm... I did that and it still didn't work...

Ah ha! I left the " " in the url, maybe taking them out?

Yeah! Thanks Phi. That was easy. Now I feel incredibly stupid.

[Phi]

Don't worry, you're only as stupid as you feel.

Or was that supposed to be old as you feel... I'm probably in trouble now.

Don't worry, you aren't stupid! (that was the reply I meant.)

Or, click in the posting tools above the post section. The button that says URL.

Then, after you type the URL, click it again.

Also, if you mouseover that button, it puts a little help text right above the area where you type your inbox
