    You type what you want, ie Google and then highlight that word, then click on the earth icon above the text box and enter link.

    Google
  • Type your word, highlight it (like you'd do to copy & paste) then hit the

    and paste your link!

    The sale looks a bit pants to me, when you compare with the sales sites such as mandmdirect have had on.

    Or...you could use this simple (well, maybe not so simple :P) method:

    Use this:
    [url@=link you want to put][color@=blue]word you want[/color][/url]
    
    Say you wanna link to google right?
    [url@=www.google.com][color@=green]Click me![/color][/url]
    
    Remove the @ and you get

    Click me!

    You could go without the [color] command...but then it'll just be in black, which would not make it obvious as a link. You could use pretty much any colour, pink, green, purple (provided the forum supports it...which it usually does).

    Other commands that I believe this forum supports would be
    [b@][/b] for bold
    [u@][/u] for underline
    [s@][/s] for strikethrough
    
    Example:

    Quote of the day
    marquis wrote:
    I hate love uni

    Although, this does tend to make life more difficult for some, but I'm just so used to it (as my old forum didn't have the hyperlink thingy). Plus, you could type it out in the quick reply without having to move the mouse around...Which can be handy for touch typist.

    Sorry for going off topic btw.

    Is it just me?

    Why don't all shopping websites allow 'view all' or at least the option of viewing more products on one page? Really irritates me.
