How to make a URL link appear as just one word

This is how you do it....

After you URL the link, you have [url]at the front and[/url] at the rear of the code line.
On the first [url] you delete the ']' and replace it with an equals sign so it looks like [url=aloadofPCjargon...
The [url]at the end of the code needs the']' inserting in front of[/url] so it looks like; ...aloadofPCjargon][/url]
between the][/url] you insert the word / words you want to see so it looks like; ...aloadofPCjargon]4515[url]

It takes a lot of mucking around to understand how to do it, but once the penny drops - it's very easy.

an easier way ... at least for me ...

click URL link

type whatever text you want to be clickable, e.g. Game 12345

click URL link again

within the first tag, i.e. the first [url], add an equals sign and then paste the copied link, like so:

[url=http://www.conquerclub.com]Game 12345[/url]

just make sure there are no spaces. this way you don't have to worry about closing tags and all that jazz...
