how does one add links to a thread?

How do my fellow dopers add the links?
I have cut/pasted url’s with no sucess.
I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate thread,but a search failed to yield any results.
:confused:

You can always click the “quote” button under someone’s post to see how they did what they did. Also there is a link to vB code in every reply window which will tell you how to do most things. I can link to that by typing:

[u****rl=“http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php?action=bbcode”]vB code[/u****rl] to get vB code

or simply typing:

w****ww.straightdope.com to get http://www.straightdope.com

But only if Automatically parse URLs: is ticked in options.

I’ve posted linking info (from past threads), as well as other helpful coding info in this thread.
