I've had a few people ask how I get a player's name as a link rather than the full link (after which you would typically enter the player's name).

which translates to...
Just drop in an equal sign and the link "Name you want displayed"
And we get...

Re: How 2 URL
I haven't seen this as an issue anywhere but for whoever had trouble with this, it's in this article: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3
The whole FAQ forum is FULL of good stuff for everyone, especially new GMs.

Re: How 2 URL
You need to put the url= then the link, close the bracket ] then the players name and finally the /url in square brackets
The /url in brackets has to go at the end after the players name
