Hyperlink Help
Did a search on this simple question but found nothing. Can anyone tell me how to imbed hyperlinks in a word, i.e. "check out this new product "here" where "here" is a hyperlink?
Have long wondered how this was done...

You would use square brackets and type
{URL="http://www.flyertalk.com"}here{/URL}
which will look like this

When in doubt, hit the quote button on a post you want to mimic, and itwill show you the code
{URL="http://www.flyertalk.com"}here{/URL}

Depends on the mail, it could be done in standard HTML in most of them.
Lots of other BB's use this same coding, so it may work many places.
In mails, it goes something like this (this time, replace the squigglies with < and >'s
{A href="www.flyertalk.com"}Click here for flyertalk{/A}
You need to be editing it in HTML though.

Specifically, it's vB Code, and can be used on any forum using the vBulletin forum software.
There is also a GUI-friendly way to insert hyperlinks from the editor. Type the text you want, then highlight the word or words you plan to use as a hyperlink. Press the link button on the editor. A box will pop up, and you type the URL in the box.
