| *Creating a Hyperlink in your message |
|
*You can easily add a hyperlink to your message.
*All that you need to do is type the URL (http://gnv.euxia.net/hab/ulm/portal_forum/forum/), and it will automatically be converted to a URL (http://gnv.euxia.net/hab/ulm/portal_forum/forum/) !

[url]http://gnv.euxia.net/hab/ulm/portal_forum/forum/[/url] *takes you home !
*Outputs this :
http://gnv.euxia.net/hab/ulm/portal_forum/forum/ *takes you home !
*If you use this tag : [url="linkto"]description[/url] you can add a description to the link.
*This Example :
*Take me to [url="http://gnv.euxia.net/hab/ulm/portal_forum/forum/"]Forum ULM[/url]
