HTML doesn’t work. Use vB code.

[TubaDiva]

Can’t use html on this board, got to be vB coding.

vB codes explained

And here’s the coding for your example:

Your example in html:

<a href=“http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=78181” target=_blank>this</a>

vB:

{url=“http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=78181”}this{/url} (replace curly brackets with straight ones, as so:)
