Link Names?

[Black Kyurem]

I can't figure out how users have links without the big long http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=346 stuff.

I see people posting words like "here", and when you click on the word, it acts like a link.
The only way I now how to do links is with the "link" option that makes the links like this: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=346

Is there something I'm missing?

Yes.

You need URL tags in order to do this.

Just do this [*url="http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/"]this is a text[/*url]. Remember to delete the asterisks though, as this is an example.

I don't understand.......I tried to change my signature doing what you said as best as I could, but I can't figure it out....

You need to use BB code. It's simple. Parmalee summed it up, really.

[*url="YOUR LINK GOES HERE (WITHIN THE QUOTATION MARKS)"]WHAT YOU WANT THE TEXT TO BE GOES HERE (WITHIN THE BRACKETS)[/*url]

Again, just delete the asterisks (*) because they're not necessary for the BB code to work.

Now I get it! Funny thing, I was actually linking your Pokemon claim thread in my signature XP
