Aside ... how to do fancy URLS
If you want URLs to appear just type them thus:
http://www.test.com and it will automatically be recognised as a URL
If you want to be a bit fancier you can use the "Insert hyperlink" button
in the message editor. It will pop up a bit of code with URL and /URL in square brackets [ and ]. To get a fancy link like this:
test the easiest way is to type the word 'test' (the link text), highlight it with the mouse and then click the 'insert hyperlink' button and the following will be inserted into your message:
[url]test[/url]
Now before the first ] type = followed by the URL so it looks like:
[url=http://www.test.com]test[/url]
and that is it.
References to 'code' can be ignored, they are just there to force the forum to display the BBCode tags rather than use them to display URLs etc.
