Lazy Link, but ill give it a go in a second.
Funky backgrounds are what i consider my specialty.
When you add a link to a post, type something simple like "Heres a link"
Highlight the phrase then on the posting options buttons there's one for a hyperlink, copy and paste the URL into that.
It makes your thread a lot easier to read.
Oops. someone already did that one. nevermind
