Just typing in the URL (like Critter did above) will hotlink it. Like this: http://www.newagefraud.org

If you want to hotlink a word or phrase, like this, this board uses a bbs code that is a bit different from html. You use [brackets] instead of <these>. Like this, but without the spaces: [ url=http://etc... ] words you want to hotlink [ / url ]

In the editing window you can also highlight the word you want to hotlink, and click on the little planet image in the options above (it's below the underline key). It will place the url tags around the highlighted word. You will need to manually go to the first tag and type the URL after the =

Also, if you respond to this message with the "quote" feature, it should show the code I used above to hotlink "like this".

Hope that helps :)
