I just have a quick question. I have seen how some of you have put links in your posts that are part of your sentence. Like in this sentence the word WREN would be blue and if someone clicked on it, it would be a link to an outside website. How do you do that?
I am quite technically challenged, and I'd love a tutorial.
Thanks in advance.

Okay, that didn't work.
What am I doing wrong?

What the first poster said was valid UBB code, but apparently not supported here. Try this alternate form:

Huh, that's strange, that's the way I always do it here and it's worked before.

If you want to see how anyone did something, edit his post. You won't be able to actually change it, because you don't know his password, but you'll be able to see exactly the UBB Code he used.

Here's a URL to an outstanding small-press speculative fiction magazine. Click the edit button to see how I formatted it.

Regards,
Oliver
