{off-topic} Discussion forums, like this one, use their own method of including code, called
BBCode -- click on the link for allowable codes.
A link would be inserted as so:
HTML Code:
[url=http://www.someurl.com/]Clickable text that goes to someurl.com[/url]
This would render as
Clickable text that goes to someurl.com (changed someurl.com to greenhybrid, since I have no idea what's at someurl.com
)
This is standard for all forums that use this particular forum software. (I'm familiar with it because I run it on several of my own websites.)
Standard HTML, Javascript, etc. codes aren't executed/rendered in forum software as a security precaution. "Evil doers" can wreck havoc if they have access to posting actual HTML/Javascript/SQL code, so any forum software worth its salt has its own way of allowing basic "HTML" features like bolding, italicizing, including links and/or images, etc.
