Default How to make a link showing the word "Here"

I know how to copy and paste a link but often I see people that have links in their post with the word "Here" or something similar and the word itself is actually the link.

Can anyone tell me how this is done?

Thanks
Tim

Not really a forum issue, but it's fairly straight-forward.
  1. Click the "Go Advanced" button if you haven't already done so
  2. Click& drag your mouse pointer to highlight the word
  3. Click the Insert Link icon (see below)
  4. A pop-up window will appear for you to enter the link
  5. You're done!

HERE

[ URL="http://www*****this is the actual Link****] Text seen, remove link from between these bracket sets add your text [/URL ]

notice there would be no spaces in the brackets i added a space after the first bracket, and the last bracket to break the link so you could see it. if you click the link button and paste the link into the box that pops up, it drops the link in both places, simply remove the link text and insert whatever text you would like to show. you can also highlight the text that shows and change its color, bold, Italicized ect ect

This is using the insert link button.

Remove whats red and place the text you want to show.
