The suggestions forum isn't an appropriate place to post this question. I've moved it to it's own thread.

To answer your question, you use the tags like this:

[url]http://www.google.ca[/url]

or like this:

[url=http://www.google.ca]Google[/url]
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

pickle, how do you get the tags to show up without being interpreted? Are you using html entities? (I know stupid question, but then again I'm slow.)

When you post, under the textarea you type into, there's a checkbox labelled "Disable BBCode".
