Placing links in posts

[Mitchell]

Can someone tell me how I can link a URL to a word in a post?
I have seen please say something like:
"click here to view" and you can click on the word 'here'

Cheers

Try this "[url*=http://url]URL text[/*url] "


remove the * between the "" and you will get URL text

type:
[url=TYPE YOUR URL HERE]type the word here[/url]

Example:
DSLRUsers

That should do it....

Thanks huynhie and Dave

Mitchell - you've got the info already, but if when you are composing a post, hover your mouse over the URL button and it will give you directions to do exactly what you've asked. You want the 'or' option.

You can also have something written, select the word or phrase that you want turned into a link, press the "URL" button and what you've highlighted will get wrapped in the URL BBCode.

Then all that's left to do is fill in the URL after the equal sign.
