So you are having web page problem links, because yo are using BBCode, not HTML!

HTML Links


Hopefully that helps.

Sorry , but I don't know how to use the code. I tried to put a full Link instead of using BB Code like this :

http://www.google.com

But then the link disappeared by itself. What should I do now , here is my forum URL :

http://www.megamanol.trap17.com

Thank you very much.

EDIT : I tried to use your code but only the News Box is back to normal , what should I do now ?

Please use the following general guide line when posting for help:

1) name the topic title specific to your situation
2) identify what forum script you're using
3) identify what is that you exactly wanted to accomplish by giving detailed example

You should have mentioned that you are using Simple Machines Forum. SMF behaves differently than Invision Power Board. To insert URL for your page/forum is to just post

and it will appear as link. If it does not you can enter it as
Notice that [URL=] is not used because URL= is IPB bbcode and not SMF bbcode.

IPB allows very similar to HTML code


but SMF cannot, thus SMF is free.

Thank you but is there any way to link a word to another web site (Like using url= ) except using Html code because I tried but it didn't help ?

That is something I have not found out. Although I use SMF myself for another site I never needed it since it's mainly for financial and stock discussions--not many people are linking to outside of my forum.

Try looking through SMF's website and see if there is/are modified bbcodes released recently. SMF's official site is http://www.simplemachines.org/
