How does one insert a link into a CC post?

<p>I would like to know how to post a message and include a link to either another thread on CC or to an outside source. Can anyone help me?</p>

<p>you just type the url into your message and it automatically turns into a link</p>

<p>The other “extra pretty” method is to insert it inside square brackets with “url” tags. In other words, if I wanted to create a link to <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com%5B/url%5D”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com</a> I could either type it directly (as I just did, and as texas137 mentions above), or I could type the following, leaving out the blank spaces inside the brackets:</p>

<p>[ url = talk.collegeconfidential.com ]This is a link to CC forums.[ /url ] </p>

<p>and you would get:</p>

<p>This is a link to CC forums.
which, when you click on it, is the same link as typed out above. </p>

<p>Nifty, huh? :)</p>

<p>That is so easy, I should have thought of it myself. But alas, I didn’t. Thanks so much.</p>
