Hi Xuan! Here is an example of how to make a link to another site: Let's say I want everyone to see the beautiful Agastache 'Apache Sunset' that I was just gazing at on the Bluestone website. I just type my message as usual and right beneath the space where I'm typing my message it says "Optional Link URL" that's where I'm going to paste the http:// address that I copied when I was at the Bluestone site. After pasting the address, I just type in whatever I want to use for the name of the link. Then when I preview my message I see the link underlined. Hope this was the information you needed! PattiOH Here is a link that might be useful: Agastache at Bluestone

albert there are indeed some for bbcode, I have not found one that functions exactly like that html one however. One that I also use is Colt: CoLT makes it easy to copy either a hyperlink's text or both the link and the link's text (in a format you specify). Two handy context-menu items make this possible, and don't add clutter; the items are only visible when right-clicking a link Colt lets you make any already clickable link copyable in bb code, you right click on the link, in your menu you will have the option that says Copy Link text and location as > when you hover over the > the list will have several options including html and bb. So you can use Colt to copy it as either html or bb. But it has to be a clickable link already. another one is BB Tags: Right click on a link and select Copy Link. This will add the BB formatted link to your clipboard ready to be pasted into a new message in a forum BB Tags I have never used this one so don't know exactly how it works but apparently you use it to click on a picture and it will add the tags to the picture. ***Ahhh I think I found it! IT is called Make Link. IT allows you to use clickable links OR any selected text on a page, hilight it, right click and in the new menu box the item will say Make link> when you hover over > the options are HTML, Forum link (which would be bb), or Text. Here is the home page of the author, Make Link Make Link 8.07 from mozilla site to install to firefox I may need to grab that one too.

Nevermind. I think I have it -will start new thread.

There are two ways to post a link: To insert a link using the provided boxes below the "Message" box: Insert the link in the "Optional Link URL:" box Type in the description or name of the item being linked in the "Name of the Link:" box If this is a new Post, you won't see these two boxes until you "preview" your message. So, compose your message and "Preview" it. You will now see the link boxes and can now enter your link information. To insert a link inside the "Message" box, Copy the following into the "Message" box where you want it: Description Next, replace the http://www.XXX/ with your link Now, replace the Description with the description (words) you want displayed with your link. With either method, you will see your link when you next "preview" your message
