I've tried and tried but can't find the answer.

Hey, Davros.

I had noticed this, too and was wondering the same thing.  After reading your post, I got to thinking (something I'm not accustomed to) and I figured it out.

You only have to do this on your sig, not in your post.  In your post you just type it out like you always did, or at least it works for me that way.  In your sig, put the URL in brackets, like when you post a pic. [url ] url [ /url] with no spaces.

I hope this makes sense.

I am pretty confused

How does one make a post on the forum?

All I can do is Reply, like I have done here.   How, how, how???

No, sorry. you just replyed again.

When you click on a sublect header, ie Community Assistance, you get the top 20 "posts" subjects to choose from. There is a button at the top of the list "post". Click that to create a new topic, fill in the subject header and the rest is a regular post.

Look forward to your "thread"
