Here is a little Taylor tutorial on how to customize your links. If you want to post a link on the forum but don't want the raw URL showing, here is the method. For instance: I could post this link http://www.forum.com/newtopic.php?do=newtopic&f=106, but instead of displaying those long characters, I'd prefer a hyperlink like HERE or CLICK that directs you to the destination just as effectively as posting this: http://www.forum.com/newtopic.php?do=newtopic&f=106.

First, follow these steps:

Select either New Topic or Reply and the text editor box will appear.

Inside the editor, type the specific word you want people to click—for example, "Click."

Once you have typed CLICK, highlight the word by clicking and dragging your mouse cursor over it.

With the word highlighted, look at the formatting toolbar (where you see B, U, etc.); the 11th icon in the row is a small planet icon. Click that.

After clicking the planet, a small rectangular input field will pop up.

In that field, paste the actual URL.

Hit OK, and your highlighted word will now function as an interactive button that takes users to your specified location.
