Insert Hyperlink!!

Hello!! Can someone explain how this feature works?? I have been reading the threads in malware fighters. Trying to learn new things to keep this old mind active. I see them hi-lite a word like (here) and then they insert  a link. Now when you click on here , it takes you to a link. I have done that on other forums, but I can't get it to work here. Is this a administrator privilege or can anyone use this feature??
Thank you!!

Suppose I want to make a link to my site at geek9pm.com I could just write www.geek9pm.com and the auto link feature would make it a link.
But what if I want to fool everybody and say:
Hey! look at this Great Blog!

The actual code is:

Code: [Select]

[url=http://geek9pm.com]Great Blog![/url]

Does that help any?  (Now I will get a slap for revealing our secrets.)

Hi I'm sorry !! I'm messing this topic up, but I can't make hyperlink work. On other forums I would copy the link, click on insert hyperlink after I hi lite the word (here). It would change the here to the link.
PS If your going to get in trouble please just forget this! It's not a big deal. I can copy and paste a link.
Thanks !

Hi!! Really this is not a problem. I'm an old man with a computer club, in a retirement village. I try to learn and teach members new things. I thought I knew how to do this?? I guess not. Sure don't want anyone getting in trouble over this.
Maybe it's a big secret.

No problem. We just like to have fun! I ti nk these are called BBC codes. But it is not easy to find the definitions.

Code: [Select]

Insert URL -> [url=site Link]Site Description[/url]
Look at this:

Gary if you look at the code in post #7 it shows exactly how to do it.

After you push the 'Insert Hyperlink' button put a = sign at the end of the 1st url then paste your link. Then click between the 2 centre brackets and type your desired text.

OK friends! I;m going to try it again. If you want to test your download =www.att.com/speedtest/here Hi Fed! I'm going to take a snippet and attach to this topic!! I have a = sign. I pasted the link, and I typed( here)

Nope ?? What is nope?? I started this topic and I'm trying very hard to read and do the things suggested. I know there is one little thing I'm doing wrong, but I don't know what it is?

Hello friends! I know I'm old and slow to learn, but I'm trying very hard. On  another forms; I high lite the word I want to insert the link in, click on hyperlink, a box drops down, I paste my link, and now when you click the high lighted word you are taken to that web page. I realize it is different here and I'm trying very hardto learn how to do it here!
Thank you!!
