How do you put a link into an email or a post message?

Just write the URL, and the recipient of the msg should see it as a clickable link.

For example:

http://nparks.vze.com

I did nothing special to the above URL, but the bbs software used by this forum will make it a clickable link. Most email client software works the same way.

Thanks Neil,
I tried it and it worked.
Next question is how do you make a word a link?
I see text that says go here or try this and "here" and "this" are links.

Click the quote button and you will see the syntax of the link to do what you are looking for:
Google search

I used it to create this. It's in the lower right corner of every post. Your own posts will have 'edit' next to them. Until somebody posts after you, you will have 'delete' also.
