If you click this button at the top of the 'post reply' text input box

You can copy & paste the URL of whatever link you want into the pop-up box that appears (make sure the 'http://' isn't entered twice). Once your link is entered click 'OK' and you'll end up with something like this entered in the text input box;

[noparse]http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=100116678#post100116678[/noparse]

Highlight the part of the text where the second link starts;

[noparse]FROM HERE-->>http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=100116678#post100116678<<--TO HERE[/noparse]

And enter whatever the word is that you want to use, you end up with this;

Dinarius' Link!

Hope this helps!
