Yup, that’s how you do it. Pretty impressive Team Reynolds if you figured it out for yourself. I had to ask and have it explained character by character.

FYI in case anyone else reads this and wants to know how to put a hyperlink in a TR, here is what the code looks like:

or, select your link and hit "copy", then reply to a post, click the "URL" button and paste your link

Then you don't have to remember the bbcode :)

That is correct, but I think you still have to manually type what text you want the hyperlink to show and sandwich it in between additional brackets.

Yeah, but if you go to the page you want to link to, select the URL (like left click on it), then right click and click on "copy" it will copy the URL into the paste buffer

then go to the text you're typing in and put the cursor where you want the link to go, click on the "URL" button and it will insert "" with the cursor between and, then right click and click on "paste" and it will paste in the URL.

this may take an iteration or two before I figure out how to put "" without it expanding it :) that's we ... d [url]and unless there's a valid web address in between
