You have to use a link. First, copy the URL (address in the address bar), for example,
http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=21047.0 (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=21047.0)
is the address of this post. Then click on the button that has the world on it. You will make the following appear (except for the quotation marks):
["url"]["/url"]
Then you can do one of two things: you can paste the address you copied between the brackets, like this:
["url"]http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=21047.0["/url"]
It will look like this:
http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=21047.0 (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=21047.0)
Or, if you want to make it look cooler (instead of having the whole url there, just have one word that appears as a link), write it like this:
["url=http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=21047.0"]Click Here!["/url"]
And that will show up as follows:
Click Here! (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=21047.0)
When you try it, make sure to get rid of the " ".

Also, if you want to link to a specific post on the boards, click the title of that post, and then copy the URL.

That's pretty neat...I didn't know how to do that either...I will bookmark this. Thanks ProfA for schooling us. :)
