Posting links to other stories

Post by greywolf »

I seem to be having trouble posting hot links to other stories. I can post the URL....that's not a problem. But if I want to post the title of the story as a hotlink to the story...you know, the ahref...thingy...it doesn't seem to work. I get a mixture of HTML and title, but it's not a hotlink.

I'd appreciate suggestions on what I'm doing wrong. Everyone else seems to be able to do this....

You also want to make sure that your profile doesn't have Disable BBCode in this post as well.



Hope that helps if not holler back.
