Ok it's nothing fancy but I can't get my links to work as I haven't used proper html tags for a while, so what tag do I use in order to get my links working?

:S

Best way to explain is with an example. If you want to post a link to http://www.barbelith.com and have that link appear as the word LINK, you type

<a href="http://www.barbelith.com">LINK</a>

Everything there is absolutely required, including the quotation marks. Get it right and you'll end up with

LINK

Might as well do the rest while we're here.

Images:

You need the image URL, not the URL of the page that the image is on. To find this, put your cursor over the image and click the right mouse button. Select 'Properties' and the URL is under 'Address'. So, in this example, the image URL is http://www.asoq93.dsl.pipex.com/ERD.jpg . To show it on the board, the code is

<img src="http://www.asoq93.dsl.pipex.com/ERD.jpg">

and gives us




Italic text:

<i>Italics</i>

or

<em>Italics</em>

gives us

Bold text:

<b>Bold</b>

or

<strong>Bold</strong>

gives us

I wonder if there's any way to pin topics to the top of the forum? It'd only be useful in P&H, I realise, but the way certain topics keep getting repeated it'd be useful+.
