It's an HTML forum, you have to use <a href=whatever>. Go and look at the HTML section of the FAQ--the very first thread on the main forum page (it's Teal/Green).....It explains it much better than I ever could. Links don't automatically happen like on Maestronet, you have to open and close them.......

The FAQ thread will also tell you all kinds of other neat stuff too..........I'm so glad you are here, donuel. You can actually type words like cockatiel and use sarcasm without being censored. (Well, we do expect polite, adult behavior, but I don't see that as a problem with you, my friend, LOL! We don't have the nifty little icons so we have to use shorthand--you understand most of that, I'm sure)

Also, be sure to go to the Quick Links on the top right of the Main Forum page, choose Mudcat Resources, and you can find our e mails and photos......FAQ tells you how to do that too.
