dumbest question ever asked on VB (HTML related)

[upirate]

Im even embarrased to ask.

How does one insert a link in VB ?

for example <a href="mypage.com?id=92389283232">My pictures
</a>

all I want to show is "My Pictures"

As of right now its just spitting out the HTML without making the link. I even put it in HTML tags

thanks

If you are creating a thread or replying to a post, use the full url and it will be autolinked.

http://www.vbulletin.com

or use

[ html] and [ /html] tags - just delete the extra spaces

I know that.

But how can I make <a> tags work ???

[tobybird]

by allowing html in that particular forum. I would seriously not recommend it though...

Why not just use the BB code [ url] [ /url]? (without the spaces)

Never think your question is dumb, dumber or the dumbest.

Question is question, never be embarrased and ask.

by allowing HTML. can someone cause harm to my forum ?

sure, that's why it is deactivated by default..

As suggested, use the bbCode:

[ url=mypage.com?id=92389283232 ]My Pictures[ /url ]

(remove the space after "[" and before "]" )
