I feel like a real idiot here..but how do I name url inks so that instead of an obvious url address the link is actually a grammatical part of the sentence?

For example, I am thinking of adding a line to my sig that goes something like:
For fun and general chatting check out the [name]Speak Your Mind Forum[/name]

I am looking at the code page (http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode), but it isn't helping me much...

Don't feel bad, I'll join you. At some point this year, the way it was done changed, and I haven't been able to figure it out properly since it changed.

This should be the way.... [noparse][url=enter website here]enter the name you want shown here[/url][/noparse]

Thanks Rav, works like a charm!

Also, in the chatbox, if you click [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/gb_icons/editor/createlink.gif"]this[/url] button it will help out.

You paste the URL, then you choose a title and those words have the link attached to them.

Yeah, that opens a box for the url and on screen it will show the url in both the url location and where it shows the name visible to everyone else. That one will be highlighted so it can be easily deleted...

@DW, Sure!

And just another handy trick with that button. If you select some text, then hit the button, it will assume the highlighted text is the heading, so you can write up your sentence, click the button, and you only need to paste the url.

Thanks guys, very useful!
Using that button is easier than doing so manually.
