| Stupid question to be sure but how do I post links that are "live" or in other words that will function when you click on them. Just about every link I post has to be copied and then pasted into the address bar.
Why doesn't this board software just post them live automatically?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. http://www.runelordsminis.com/

Okay using Bert's method worked but damn that seems unecessarily cumbersome.

| In addition to the html for links and images, what other "how to" info post formatting would be helpful?

| Not sure. Have to think about that.
The following is going to sound critical and I don't mean it that way but this board software is needlessly complex. On another message board I frequent if I want to post a "live" link I don't have to do anything to it. I just post it and it's live. None of this
< ahref="http://blahblahblah stuff. If I want to post an image all I have to do is [img]url[/img]
I'm assuming that since this board just works that way, there is no way to change that right?

I try and think of more, but if we are spelling things out,how to bold/undersline/strike out in quick reply box etc would be good. | | "Mutton yesterday, mutton today, and blimey, if it don't look like mutton again tomorrer."
