**picunurse** (or others): How do you post a link without having it look exactly what is in the browser’s bar? Such as, compare how you wrote the link for your first picture. If I post it, it looks like this: [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/picunurse/Glass/callalils1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/picunurse/Glass/callalils1.jpg) How can I be cool like you?

Replace the left ‘[’ with it’s equivalent html code from [this site](http://home.earthlink.net/~awinkelried/keyboard_shortcuts.html) That way the ‘thing’ that parses the post for vbulletin code will not see a ‘[’ and will not activate the code, however, your browser will spot the html code and replace it with a ‘[’ ---
