Other forums I've used have a two STEP procedure, upon clicking on a button to add the HYPERLINK. The first box asks for the text; the second box, the URL. Another methodolgy used in some forums is to type the text in the forum message panel, then select that text and click on the button for adding a hyperlink. The text then becomes a hyperlink; the URL is invisible, which, of course, is usually the objective when inserting a hyperlink.

How can that done in this forum? For example, if I want to make the word Google a hyperlink, how do I do that? If I type Google, select it, then click on the button for hyperlink, I SIMPLY end up with http://Google, which is worthless.The code is [ url=http://the.url/page ]Page title[ /url ].

Remove the spaces around the square brackets.Test: Google

OK, I gotcha. So, what we have here is more manual than other sites I mentioned. The hyperlink button here just INSERTS the http:// tags. The user then has to fill in, or copy/paste, the actual URL and the site NAME in the format you demonstrated.

Thanks.
