I was just noticing that unless its obvious that a link is there, (ie "click here"). It seems to go unnoticed. I know that the color is slightly different from the normal text, just thinking that underlining by default or something might be an idea.

Exactly. Anything that is not embedded it fairly obvious (I'd like to think that the http://... would make it obvious as well). But links integrated into text easily go unnoticed (could be fun though...).

Or it could be like "Where's Waldo" :lol:
You have to find the link . . . I think that's more fun.

Why not just edit the text so that it's like this (http://www.celicasupra.com/phpBB2/index.php)

example:

[u][url=http://www.celicasupra.com/phpBB2/index.php]like this[/url][/u]

The facilities are all there. :)

works like that

I guessed it was probably able to be done like that, just thought it was worth mentioning.... :confused:
