You might contact the owner of that particular message board and ask him to turn UBB code on. For help using a sort of UBB code on this board, visit

I tried using the UBB code of

perfectshots.com/cdmodels

on a message board, but it wouldn't create the link. It also didn't work in my email either.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

No, I meant other boards. I realise that UBB works here. I just tried it in "Deja-news" and it didn't work. Not sure why, I notice that others have links in their messages. hmmm

Well, it seems that all forums are not created equal!
Some are set up so if you type the http://-yaddayaddadotcom
it will automatically set up the link. (dejanews for one)
Others, like Yahoo chat, let you insert a link just by typing the www.blahblah.com
some boards just don't seem to allow any sort of links in them no matter how creative you get.
Thanks for your help
