ok how do you post a link to a site or a thread here and then type over so thats visible does that make sense?

 

I think this is what your talking about? Just turn the { into [

You can also include true hyperlinks using the [url] tag. Just use the following format:

{url=http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/]Click here to visit the vBulletin forums{/url]

This will produce a hyperlink like this: Click here to visit the vBulletin forums.
