**Azazel** above the reply window you will see a link like this, [vB code](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php?action=bbcode).

This will show you how to do most things. You can also use the _reply with quote_ icon at the bottom of every post to find out how people do things.

To make a hyperlink type you own details into the following

[[sup][/sup]url=“[http://www.vbulletin.com](http://www.vbulletin.com)”]vBulletin Home Page[/url[sup][/sup]]

this will give you

[vBulletin Home Page](http://www.vbulletin.com)
