The Dark and Forbidding Lands of The Necromancer.

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.

I find it easiest if in 'add reply' window or 'quote' to high light the text, press control + K and enter the URL.

"Mutton yesterday, mutton today, and blimey, if it don't look like mutton again tomorrer." Bert the Troll - The Hobbit

Doesn't work in the quick reply, but in regular reply and quote if I paste the link instead of typing it, that usually works for me.

The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin!
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn...
A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.
He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!

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

Could we get a stickied "how to" thread in this forum?

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.
