To make clickable links in your post, here's how the Linking Feature works:
1. In your reply window, type the title you wish to be seen by others (example: "Cara and Mia Video")
2. Go to the address line of the page you wish to link to, select the address and copy it into your buffer (hit CNTR C).
3 Go back to your reply and select your title (Cara and Mia Video) with your mouse.
4. In the row above the reply window, click the little picture of the chain. (In the same row as the smilies) The title text must be selected for the chain to be "clickable"
5. In the pop-up window, paste (CNTR V) the address in the space behind "Link URL"
6. "Target". Use the pull down menu to select Open Link in a NEW window.
7. Then click "Insert".

Alternatively, to manually make your own links:
1. Copy and paste the link into your post like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHYE4RX71Ec
2. Add this to the front of it: Open square bracket, the letters "url" and an equals sign:
[ url=
(Without the space)
3. Add this to the back of it: Close square bracket, The text you wish to appear in your post and then /url surrounded by square brackets:
]This is My Link[ /url ]
(Without the spaces)
This is what the final product will look like:
[ url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHYE4RX71Ec]This is My Link[ /url ]
(Without the spaces)
And this is what will be seen in your post:
This is My Link
