are you adding in the 'target=' info? or just the url?
Because you should be entering:
[url]www.usatoday.com[/url]
Nah, it was adding the Target and such. I see now, though, it works properly with the www included. I always used to remove all the text before the website name on your old board. Leaving in the www gets the link working now.
That's why you get the big bux Chief. Much grass. 😉
