These are the codes for manualy adding a pic,link, a renamed link, bold font, Italic font, underlined text, size and color to a page or signature.

You must remove the spaces inbetween the [ and codes I.E. [ url ]

To get a web address to be displayed as a link Aka the automotivesports.net mainpage use this [ url ] www.automotivesports.net [ /url ] www.automotivesports.net
