One thing I cannot figure out how to is to name a link. All I know is just pasting in the link icon, like this http://www.matrixgames.com/products/381/details/Storm.over.the.Pacific.

But I see a lot of you good people actually name the links. How do I do that?

[ u r l = h t t p : / / e x a m p l e . c o m ] t e x t h e r e [ / u r l ] (without the spaces)

If using BBCode mode, you can also click the little chain icon with the green "plus" symbol

Bah, messed it up lol.

I did it! Thanks!!!!!

There is a button for that in the text editor; it looks like a small chain with a green spot. In other places, it looks like a small planet Earth.

Never noticed. As a programmer i write everything by hand, even smilies

:hehe:

That's how I have always done it, not being strong at typing. Referred to as, hen peck typing...

I really would love to use the rich text editor more, but it makes splitting up quotes such a pain and I hate how it carries over rich text properties pasted into it. If paste as plaintext was the default option and it didn't make quotes all fancy-like I'd use it more. I find myself trying to do ctrl-K in plaintext mode too often (though it looks like ctrl-K doesn't work even in rich-text mode)

Remember to always check the real link - when you hover the mouse over a link, a bar (lower-left in Firefox, for example) should appear with full link address. Someone could link to any site, naming it not only with fancy name, but could hide another address there.
