Admiration or love #74996

I tried to follow the suggestions for tags so that my references would link to the appropriate sites. It didn't work. What did I do wrong?

You didn't include a word to be the actual link, nor did you close the link. So, it should have been something like

[ url = "www.whatever.com"]This is the text you click on [ / url]

(Sorry I included spaces where there shouldn't be to make it easier to post.)

I see now. Thank you.

[url="www.whatever.com"]This is the text you click on[/url]

So meta and postmodern over in here.

I used to know how to do that sort of thing (posting some sort of code without it actually... coding)... now I don't care. D:

The disable BBCode checkbox should work. (Use Full Editor, not quick view.)

Cool! Plus, it looks like on this forum you don't need quotes anyway.

Yes, the rules on this forum are very different.

For instance <i>html tags</i> like that are handled differently on here, in questions, and in answers, as I've discovered.

Also, on the Board at least, you need to have the leading http:// on all links (or else the link just won't work).
