If you use the Quick Reply box, then the URL will be automatically "linkified" unless it includes some special characters. I asked the software developers to add this feature, but they didn't test it properly, so it doesn't always work correctly.

Test: thegreynomads.activeboard.com

 Gday...

From observation and questions posted on the forum, it would appear there a number of ways to insert a clickable URL into a thread.

I have tried all suggestions but this is the way that works for me - 

 

1) obviously, I copy the URL from the site I want to include;

2) the I either Start a New Topic box ... or click Reply on an existing thread;

3) I type the 'message' I want and then I CTRL V the URL I copied earlier into the body of the thread/reply;

4) I then use the mouse to highlight the URL, this the causes the icon (I have circled in red) on the menu bar to become 'active' -

      

 5) Click on that icon and the following box opens -

       Left click in the "Link URL" box and CTRL V the URL into here;

Then left click on the small down arrow in the "Target" box - this will provide the following options -

       I select the "Open Link in a New Window" option, then left click on "Insert"

6) This then makes the URL look like this - http://www.australiasomuchtosee.com/lists26.htm

The link is now clickable, and when clicked will open in a new window.

Hope this helps you ... it works for me and I have yet to have any trouble in the link not working when I post.
