I have no idea how to post a link. When I do this week's ebay soakers, I can't post a link. Could someone please tell me how to post a link? :o

Step-by-step guide to inserting links

1. Click on the "http://" button above the text input box.

Well then, where did it not work? Did the JavaScript boxes not appear? If that's the case, then you have JavaScript disabled and will fix the problem by enabling JavaScript. I do not see a reason why the link code would not work otherwise. Try tying in the code manually if you need to link somewhere. Alternatively, you could always just paste a URL in and the forum will automatically format that for you.

You can still like to the individual water guns at Amazon.com. Study the URL code and you'll notice it's quite simple:

Code: Select all

[URL=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000BX8JV/102-8412187-8488154]Secret Strike[/URL]
^ Link to the Secret Strike code. I type up most of the BBcode I use. I'm sure you could do the same. ;)
