    Does anyone know the html code you have to type in with a http://www. address in order for it to appear as a title link rather than a url?

    For example if you clicked a link that said

    Map of Cambridge

    It would actually take you to a web page displaying a map of Cambridge?

    Any assistance much appreciated.

    don't mention it.

    on here you can use [*url=ADDRESS]TEXT[/URL*] as well if it is easier to remember

    but with square brackets instead of curly ones. For some reason the BBS will no longer show the open-square-bracket character at all.

    @BRF for links in signatures you have to use BBS code as above, not HTML.
