    It might be easier if you said in what context you are trying to do it.

    Those are HTML tags, so used when building a web page. The bits inside the tags tell the browser what you are doing, and creates a clicky directing you to the web address when you click it.

    I am just trying to do it how you did it by putting Google clicky in your post number 2.I have tried to do it how you explained and now had to delete 2 posts i put on here to practice as they didnt work.

    I think i have to ask my brother to show me how to do it and dont want to ask him as he just tut and say "cant you do that "
    But thanks anyway.

    Do you mean when you see something like this that when clicked takes you to that page?

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html

    if so, right click on the page url, then scroll down to "copy", right click on "copy" then back where you want it inserted, right click again to paste.

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/

    and if this is not what you wanted, sorry, it might help someone.

    Well ok :rotfl:

    IMHO, just copy what I have typed, and remove the stars. You can then change the web address to whatever site you want, and change the 'click here' to whatever you want it to say. Ensure there are no spaces anywhere in the code.

    [*url=www.google.co.uk]Click here[/*url]

    On THIS forum, the easy way is to type in the text you want people to see (like clicky), highlight that text (using your mouse) then click the createlink.gif image above the posting box. In the popup that appears enter the web address that you want clicky to go to then click OK.

    The above example in full (without stars) would look like this:

    [noparse]Click here[/noparse] = Click here

    Ok, so now type the following.

    [ url=https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5090603saving expert[/ url]

    You can copy/paste or type it yourself. Remove the space before each 'url' and you end up with
