A quick question

[NikoBellic]

I have noticed that some users can put a URL in a post but can name it. (instead of seeing whole URL you just see a user picked name.)
Please tell me how to possibly do this. Thanks.

To do this:

In a post you are creating you will find a control panel at the top. Bold, italics, underline, colour, etc. Click the one with the Earth with a little chain link. Place the link you have in there and it'll come pre-set in the message box. The already highlighted part is what it will say, like you said, giving it a name.

If you want to type it out, it goes like this:

[*URL="Link Here"*] Link Name Here [*/URL*]

Just without the *.

Try it. Like this. I hope that helped.
