Posting links on the forum

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

It depends whether the poster hyperlinks it.

www.unofficialpleasurewood.co.uk

If they don't then it's just text.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

What do you mean by 'hyperlink' it?

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

By using the little chain symbol in the advanced editor.

So there's no way of posting a link properly in the quick reply then?

mrbrightside · Exceptionally Expressive

you can try using [url] tags...

If you put [ url] and then [/ url] (without the spaces) on the start and end of a hyperlink it should work:

BBC

Or simply:

www.bbc.co.uk

Yeah I have been adding the brackets recently.

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

The problem with using the url tags is that it seems to point to the address as a page of the forum, bizarre!

http://www.bbc.co.uk

Actually, all you need to do is add http:// at the front.
