it's in the SMF Bulletin Board Code in the forum Help (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=help;page=post#bbcref)

Code: [Select]

That's exactly what it's supposed to do. You put in:

Code: [Select]


[url=http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0]http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0[/url]
[/quote]

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0)


You could have put in:

Code: [Select]


[url=http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0]Something else for the link text here[/url]
[/quote]

Something else for the link text here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?board=7.0)
