How do I insert a link
In the political forum I started a thread. I linked " http://www.pressconnects.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080103/NEWS01/801030363 "
What I want to do is put in the phrase " Dental Exams" which can be clicked on to the page - without having the entire web address showing.
:confused: :BangHead: :confused:

[ url=http://www.baptistboard.com]BaptistBoard.com[/url ]

Type Dental Exams, then highlight it. Hit the link button at the top of the post. The icon looks like a small world with a link of a chain in front of it, to the left of the picture icon.
A screen will pop up where you can paste the URL. Be sure to delete the http:// they have in there already.
It will look like this:

Wow, it works!!! Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks -
I use the BBCode Xtra extension for Firefox. I can copy the link, right-click, choose bbcodeXtra > Clipboard > URL with name, and it will pop up wanting the text I want to be shown. I type it in and hit OK and it's done. No muss, no fuss. :D
If you sue Firefox, definitely check it out. You have to set your reply box to plain text in the UserCP, though.
