The Newbie & FAQ forum is the best place to find such info.

However, this is how you do it:
This is the link you are looking for.
=
[noparse]This[/noparse] is the link you are looking for.

Read about the other vB codes for more (there's a link at the bottom of the page if you do a quote, reply or new thread rather than quickpost).

There's also a link button at the type of the "advanced" edit box.

Use the Test Forum for practicing.

Don't go crazy with the different codes and formatting option. Purple text in a font other than the default just annoys everyone.

[thread] and [post] are better for posts elsewhere in boards - keeps the domain the same (so if you use www.boards.ie and another users uses boards.ie and another whatever.boards.ie it will still work correctly for each of you).
