You mean like this: Crucial?

In the reply box there is a URL tag. When you click on it in brings up two URL's in brackets. In the first bracket you put the whole URL location in there so going by my example above its:

put the location, in the bracket, afte ... r=#BF0000][/color] and then you type the text in between the two sets of closed brackets []so your title goes here[].

Hope this answers your query :).

I know there has already been a discussion/debate over whether or not to have more sub-forums, but what about having one that focused on study aids, like useful word lists etc.

What are the little pictures next to the "Historical Recaps" and "Off-topic" forums? One looks like a stetson and some sunglasses, and the other looks like ... er... a peacock smoking a pipe. I assume they represent "history" and "off-topic", but what the hell are they?

A very interesting point. I'd never really looked at them before, but having just looked closely, I'm pretty sure that the Off-topic forum logo is the head of a goat. As for Historical Recaps, I couldn't say; it does sort of resemble a hat, but could also be a pokemon.
