To post a "bare" link:
Code: [Select]
[url]http://www.example.com/index.html[/url]
To post a clickable piece of text:
Code: [Select]
[url=http://www.example.com/index.html]Click here for example.[/url]
To post a clickable icon:
Code: [Select]
[url=http://www.example.com/index.html][img]http://www.example.com/icon.gif[/img][/url]
Need anything else?

Thanks, Ami.  Firefox used to have an add-on that converted text to links but I haven't looked for one since their last upgrade.

It's called "BBCode".

Yeah, I know - but after the upgrades, Firefox gives you a message telling which add-ons aren't compatible and that was listed.  I haven't searched around since then to see if one's been added to their site yet.

Firefox checks every time it starts up.

I don't know the status since I use Chrome almost exclusively now.

Wish I could, but I've got Windows 2000.  Hopefully they'll open it up to work with that.
