first have this

Code:

[url=

now place your link after the = sign
like this

Code:

 [url=http://help.forumotion.com/index.htm

now place this after the your link.

Code:

 ] 

now you can put what ever text you like after that and cap the whole thing of with with a /url tag like this.

Code:

[/url]

so your whole code will look like this.

Code:

 [url=http://help.forumotion.com/index.htm]TEXT HERE[/url]

and this is how it will appear when finished. TEXT HERE

Now if you wanted to add a banner or other image to it. you just place the img tags from what ever image host you are using. I would recommend http://tinypic.com/ but you can use any image host you like.

here is a image code i am using.

Code:

[IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/29lb4om.jpg[/IMG]

and like i said above all you would do is add the image code where the text would go and once again cap it off with the url tag

Code:

[/url]

here is my whole code

Code:

 [url=http://help.forumotion.com/index.htm][IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/29lb4om.jpg[/IMG][/url]

Click on banner

Use the html code url. Example.
[url=The address here] Click here [/url]
correct me if im wrong.

no you are correct. i just explained it that way to give step by step examples.

Sorry being a dunce do I have to click the link Icon? to get a box up to place the url in that and do I need to highlight the click here
I usually want to take from address of explorer page for example which is usually expressed too long in a post.
I've no idea how to get that box up illustrated here.
Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean. whats the link you want to make into the text
(click here)

It looks like a "chain" (, the 8th button in the quick reply box. Click that and type the link in the first field, and then in the second fiel (), type the text that you want it to correspond to.
