How does one link to another post, inside a post?

[Merctime]

Fellows,

I've seen people make links to other posts/outside site URL's on these boards. These links are in blue lettering and many times have a different 'name' than the letters of the url that the link leads to.

For instance, someone might say:

"Oh, yeah, I recall them talking about those houserules. It's over here in this post. (and those letters are actually a hyperlink to another post, or some blog post or something).

How do you all do that? And, somewhat importantly, can it be done in signatures? My thought with that is to make a link in blue lettering that states the name of my character in an online game I am playing in here, and having that link bring the clicker to his character sheet. Is this possible?

Even if it isn't, I'd love to learn how to do this!

Click on the button that looks like this:

There's also help available on the BBCode.org site for Creating links.

Thank you both very much!

If you want to link to another post on these boards, go to that post and click the button shown here, then click the "Link to Post" menu item:



Copy the URL shown there into the BBCode URL tag discussed in the comments above.

Incidentally, you should both go into your settings and select the ‘Sovereign Stone’ theme.

I really do appreciate it, guys... Gotta love pictures! I've gotten it to work now; My sig leads to my character sheets here

And now I have learned how to post a link, and write something completely different than the URL as the 'title' or typed words of the link! That's pretty nifty. You both rule!

EDIT: Woah! Falconer... I need to quote Mel Brooks now, after setting that theme, from "History of the World, Part 1"...

...Everything's so... GREEN!!!
