just put a and a either side of the URL

The instructions are at the side of the message box when you type.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by and . So if you type www.mumsnet.com, the link will display as www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at this page", would display "Look at this page".

the URL is the address line that appears at the top of your screen ie mumsnet.com

if I put and either side thus

www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=2725&threadid=333270 it will link to this thread

aw it did but must have to enter the whole URL to the exact page I want linked as it only went to home page.

Who said that

SlightlyMadSlug · 02/06/2007 23:28

Some sites will only take you to the home page. That is more to do with the way the site you are lining to is set up.
