used to convey an emotion, such as a smile 
or a frown  . This forum

when it is inserted between brackets []. Here are the
smilies that are currently supported by

| Creating
a Hyperlink in your message |
|
You can easily add a hyperlink to your message.
All that you need to do is type the URL (
http://www.nkweb.net/forum/
), and it will automatically be converted to a URL (
http://www.nkweb.net/forum/
)!
The trick here is to make sure you prefix your URL with the
http://, https:// or file://
You can also add a mailto link to your message by typing
in your email address.
This Example:
info@nkweb.net
Outputs this:
info@nkweb.net
.
Another way to add hyperlinks is to use the [url]linkto[/url]
tags
This Example:
[url]
http://www.nkweb.net/forum/
[/url] takes you home!
Outputs This:
http://www.nkweb.net/forum/
takes you home!
If you use this tag: [url="linkto"]description[/url]
you can add a description to the link.
This Example:
Take me to [url="
http://www.nkweb.net/forum/
"]
NK Forum Area
[/url]
Outputs This:
Take me to
NK Forum Area
This Example:
If you have a question [url="
info@nkweb.net
"]Email Me[/url]
Outputs This:
If you have a question Email
Me
You can make clickable images by combining the [url="linkto"]desc[/url]
and [img]image_url[/img] tags
This Example:
[url="
http://www.nkweb.net/forum/
"][img]
http://www.nkweb.net/forum/http://www.nkweb.net/forum/forum.gif [/img][/url]
