when you are making a post, look up at the tool bar that has things like B i u code, etc.

The one you want is URL.

Code: Select all

Insert URL: [url]http://url[/url] or [url=http://ulr]URL text[/url] (alt+w)
The first one,

Code: Select all

[url]http://url[/url] 
makes a direct link to the site. It's equal to this: http://www.autobotiacon.com

The second,

Code: Select all

[url=http://url]URL Text[/url]
is a bit different.

Autobot Iacon.

It will display to other users what you type in place of URL Text. This makes the post a bit easier to read, expecially if the URL in general is long.

When you're at the website, highlight the url in the bar, copy it and paste it into your post. It should automatically turn into a link.

To turn a link into a word, type in this- then type whatever word you want, and end it with this-
