I noticed someone was asking how to do this so I thought I`d be nice.

I think this DB is custom built, as a result a number of normal commands that you might see on other boards have been disabled, if you see a square bracket below   ( a [ or ]   )   replace it with an angled bracket   < a respectively   >

If you are every in doubt, find a post with either in it, click Quote in the post and copy and paste the code.

I really hope this works on the first attempt or I`m going to look quite stupid

Wayhay, it worked :  )  

Feel free to post tests in here btw, keep them work safe as always of course

Edit: Spoke too soon, looks like you can`t type angled brackets, they are the characters above the , and . on the keyboard

A handy thing to use when creating links is to include target="new" in the code as this willl mean the link opens in a new window and your current window/tab stays within AFR.

e.g. Leading the charge of the light brigade

code is:  (a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fayiAfDvzgM" target="new"  )  Leading the charge of the light brigade  (/a  ) 

Replace  ( bracket with angle bracket

Get rid of this type of bracket [ ] and use the greater than and less than signs instead. the ones that look live a V lying on its side.

So it has to be a link from a website and not a personal pic?
