How do you make links look like words?

into

something like that but with words to replace the link, such as by saying "link here" and it links to the above link.

Wow...I iz forum nuub....

In the url tags you have to use to make it act as a link put a = after the url then put the link there. Then the tags go around the text you want to act as the link.

It would look like this, without the spaces.

[url =yourlink]text to appear as a link[/url]

Bonus lesson

If you do this
[url =yourlink][img ]yourimage[/ img][/ url]
A picture will act as a link. Like how this picture of your avatar is a link back to the forum index.

Dakka also accepts html code. You can see how html links by going here.
