Yes similar to your signature and when emails are sent and the site as an address of 3 lines long ,to be able to shorten it read (click here ),am i making this clear?

Yeah I get what you mean now. The thing is though, you're actually asking about two different things.
On most forums (this one included) you use BBcode to make a clickable link. To make a clickable link in an email you use HTML.
This is a clickable link in BBcode.

Code: [Select]

[url=www.google.com]Google[/url]And the result: Google
You can underline it like a HTML link by adding another tag.

Code: [Select]

[url=www.google.com][u]Google[/u][/url]Google

This is the same clickable link in HTML.

Code: [Select]

<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>Can't show the result on this one. HTML is disabled on the forum.
Oh and FYI, it is important to remember the http:// part when making a link in HTML... else it won't work correctly.

And, when you say "tiscali isp to orange isp", do you mean webmail, for both?  By webmail, I mean you must be online to compose the mail and you're sending/receiving via your web browser.

I can't view that link.  Are you sure http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/ is the correct URL?  Why did you post it?  Is it your ISP's home page?

[skyblue]

Both links work fine for me mine and yours ,why did i post it just testing.to see if i could do it
this is my isp
click here

[soybean]

I just did a test.  I logged onto my ISP's webmail and composed a message.  I entered www.google.com in the message.  In the composition panel, the link did not appear to be an active hyperlink at this point.  I sent the message to myself and retrieved it in Outlook Express.  Google was displayed as a hyperlink.  I returned to message to myself by replying from Outlook Express and retrieved it via webmail.  Now, it appeared in my message in webmail as a hyperlink. 

So, you might experiment with this some more and see what happens.
