At some time, you may find it necessary to reference some material, and you need to provide a link to it.

There are 3 ways to do this:

1. using the toolbar, on the AddReply page

2. using the toolbar on the FastReply box

3. manually

Using the toolbar, on the AddReply page:


Either at the top, or bottom, of a page, click the AddReply button.
When your on the Reply page, on the toolbar, click the Insert Link icon.




This window will open.





Type, or Paste in, the URL of the site you want to link to, and click the OK button.





That will open this window.





Replace "Visit My Website", with what you want the link to say, then click the OK button.





The example used here will be displayed in the reply window, like this:

CODE
[url=http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html]Avast Anti-virus[/url]


When you post your message, it will look like this:

Avast Anti-virus


Using the toolbar on the FastReply box:


At the bottom of a page, click the FastReply button.
On the toolbar, click the Insert Link icon.




This window will open.





Type, or Paste in, the URL of the site you want to link to, and click the OK button.





That will open this window.





Replace "Visit My Website", with what you want the link to say, then click the OK button.





The example used here will be displayed in the reply window, like this:

CODE
[url=http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html]Avast Anti-virus[/url]


When you post your message, it will look like this:
Avast Anti-virus


Manually:

When typing your post, you can manually insert the URL tags.
CODE
[url=http://THE URL TO YOUR LINK]WHAT YOU WANT THE LINK TO SAY[/url]


So, if I were to use the same example, as above.
CODE
[url=http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html]Avast Anti-virus[/url]


When the post it made, it would look like this.
Avast Anti-virus
