If
UBBCode is enabled in a forum, you no longer need to use the
[URL] code to create a hyperlink. Simply type the complete URL in
either of the following manners and the hyperlink will be created
automatically:
- Automatic hyperlinking (no UBBCode required). Simply type the URL, as in http://www.yourURL.com or www.yourURL.com
- Use the [url] code, in either of the following manner:
[url=http://www.infopop.com]infopop.com[/url]
[url]http://www.infopop.com[/url]
For automatic hyperlinking, notice that you can either use the complete http:// address or
shorten it to the www domain. If the site does not begin with
"www", you must use the complete "http://" address. Also, you
may use https and ftp URL prefixes in auto-link mode (when UBBCode
is ON).
When using the URL UBBCode, the UBBCode automatically generates
a hyperlink to the URL that is encased. It will also ensure
that the link is opened in a new window when the user clicks
on it. Note that the "http://" part of the URL is completely
optional. Also
note that you should NOT use quotation marks inside the URL
tag.
