I tried showing the code how to post a link in your "one more try" thread and I used the html code thing...and it parsed the damn code! Useless! And then I tried switching it to css if it would work and it totally killed it, can't even view the thread now. Ugh.
[a href="http://putlinkhere.com"]Name for the link[/a] - replace [ with < and ] with >.
