I think a better re-wording would be, how did you physically acheive the effect of adding arrows to links?Everah wrote:I assumed 'arrow and words rather than the link itself' meant the OP was unsure how to make text links. Since the issue of arrows was answered already, but the issue of text links was not, I posted a brief answer on how to post text links. Was I incorrect in my understanding of the OP's question?

Thanks Everah.
I was really trying to ask how you got links to be with a description rather than the url and incidentally how the arrow got there. It was obviously badly worded
from the sarcastic(!) initial answers
I thought you must be using html in the posts to do it. The equals sign is the answer I needed.

More information on using bbCode can be found in the bbCode FAQ's.
There is even a section on creating links.
