It also depends on what kind of link you want to make. I didn't read jstarmans' original question, but like when I left a link on here for Been to read another board, I went to that boards url, copied it from the address bar, pasted it here. then you go back over it with your curser to turn it black n white, and just type in Click here.
Like this: This is the board where I paste the link.
Then I go back over it, and it turns black n white
then re-type in click here..
Please pay me.
